Elderly citizens (90+) gain access to COVID-19 protection, reducing mortality risk (18.3x higher for this age group). Healthcare workers receive continued vaccination support. Households with elderly members benefit from reduced hospitalization and death risks, lowering out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
