AB - Background: Older adults are known to experience higher mortality and hospitalisation when infected with COVID-19 due to their increased vulnerability. COVID-19 severely impacted Indian older adults during the first two waves of the pandemic. While Indias vaccine coverage is impressive in absolute numbers, the coverage proportion, particularly among older adults, was questioned during the deadly COVID Delta wave. Hence, the analysis seeks to study the policies concerning prioritisation, and vaccine coverage among older adults in India.
