Minimum updating coefficients by age group.

Variable \ Age class 0–19 20–39 40–59 60–79 80+ Total
Probability of being infected (pCt) 0.0213 0.041 0.031 0.016 0.027 0.028
Probability to die due to infection (pCH(j)) 0.07% 0.70% 3.01% 12.68% 30.32% 24.29%
Probability that the vaccine is harmful (pH) 10−3 10–3 10–3 10–3 10–3 10–3
Vaccine efficacy (pIN) 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.84
Share of vaccinated people in t2 37.8% 37.8% 37.8% 37.8% 37.8% 37.8%
Updating coefficient α for the vaccine to be convenient Never convenient Never convenient 0.04 0.31 Always convenient 0.18

Notes: The share of vaccinated population is computed based on utility function of the rationals (equation SSI) and data as in Table 1.
