The risk profile for vaccines overlaps almost perfectly with the risk profile for COVID.

That is, the age groups most at-risk from the virus (ages 70+, with comorbidities) are also going to live the shortest, and so suffer from fewer side-effects as well as not reproducing.

So why aren't the rollouts focused on vaccinating the elderly first? By the time this is done the kinks will be ironed out.
