COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect those who are at a higher risk. A 2006 study: Vaccines fail to generate protective immunity in 50% to 90% of older individuals.

Seroconversion after a vaccine is 50% from 60 to 70 years old, 31% from 70 to 80 years old, and only 11% after the age of 80.
Conclusions: Billions are being spent on COVID-19 vaccines that are unlikely to work in the highest-risk group, those aged 70 and above.
