The world has marveled at the speed with which science took on and solved the task of creating effective vaccines for Covid-19. But another often-overlooked science — the engineering and management science of operations research — is now equally important for getting vaccines into the arms of Americans.

By December 2020, these two had become the first vaccines to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
