contents In this paper, we introduce an algorithm designed to solve a Multilevel MOnoObjective Linear Programming Problem (ML(MO)OLPP). Our approach is a refined adaptation of Sinha and Sinha's linear programming method, incorporating the development of an "interval reduction map" that precisely refines decision variable intervals based on the influence of the preceding level's decision maker. Each construction stage is meticulously examined. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated through a detailed numerical example, illustrating its practical applicability in resource management challenges. With a specific focus on vaccination planning within long-term care facilities and its relevance to the COVID-19 pandemic, our study addresses the optimization of resource allocation, placing a strong emphasis on the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
