UC Berkeley researchers measured vaccine efficacy by analyzing whether vaccinating elders would save the most years of life.
A UC Berkeley study published Thursday found that vaccinating elders saves both the most lives and the most years of life.
Vaccine efficacy can be measured in many ways, including the total number of lives saved and total years saved. The study sought to analyze whether vaccinating elders would also save the most years of life.
“It was well known that giving it to old people would save the most lives, but there were questions that it wouldn’t save the most use of future life,” said lead researcher and campus demography professor Joshua Goldstein. “We wanted to see if there was a conflict there.”
