A new study conducted by the University of California, America, revealed that giving priority to the Corona vaccine to people most at risk of dying from the coronavirus, such as: the elderly, will save the largest number of lives, and their potential for future years of life, according to the "Medical" website.
According to the results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it addresses the ethical dilemma of who should be first in line to get limited supplies of vaccines amid the Corona infection that has so far killed 500,000 people in the United States and 2.4 million. Globally.
Because aging is associated with lower life expectancy, the study authors said, it is widely assumed that this means we are saving fewer years of life.
And they explained that the age patterns of Corona deaths make vaccinating the oldest first saves most lives, and surprisingly, it also increases the life expectancy remaining.
According to the research paper, the experimental analysis shows that it was thought that it was easiest to put such concerns aside and to prioritize the vaccine for the elderly and those in the most vulnerable health conditions.
The researchers found that the death rate of Covid 19 by age increased by about 11% for each year of life in the United States, Germany and Korea.Moreover, they found that vaccinating people in their 90s would save a life three times giving the same doses to people in their eighties. .
