Adult eligibility Adult eligibility should be based on the willingness-to-pay approach that is subject to procurement and delivery at a cost-effective price. The advice for universal vaccination from age 75 years is an example. JCVI has no role in the procurement or delivery of COVID-19 vaccines or any other vaccine.
