COVID-19 vaccination: Astra Zeneca National Immunization Panel Recommendation Version 1.0, as of 02/01/2021

For the 65+ age group, immunologic and safety data are comparable to those for younger individuals.
Due to the small group size and the low number of cases of disease, it is not possible at this time to make a safe prognosis for this age group.
