| No. | Allocation strategy | Weight to allocate vaccine resources in each region |

| 4 | Report-pop-calibrated | Cumulative number of confirmed cases calibrated to the regional population size |
| 5 | New-infect | Number of new suspected and confirmed cases |
| 6 | New-infect-pop-based | Number of new suspected and confirmed cases as a proportion of the regional population |
| 7 | New-infect-pop-calibrated | Cumulative number of new suspected and confirmed cases calibrated by the regional population size |
| 8 | Particle swarm | Particle swarm optimisation with the objective of minimising the total number of confirmed cases |
| 9 | Imported-based | Cumulative number of imported cases |
