Product Description:

Some states prioritize COVID-19 vaccine access by age (decade of life). This is simple, and age has a strong association with COVID-19 mortality. But this raises concerns based in law and ethics. This study quantifies the age effect: COVID-19 mortality increases 2.59-fold per decade of lifea smaller increase than some conditions. People with conditions associated with at least 2.59-fold COVID-19 mortality should be granted vaccine eligibility along with people at least 10 years older.
