The only point in restricting is it when supply concerns come into play. You want the most vulnerable to be the most protected. If that's not an issue, restrictions don't make sense.

I highly doubt there will be any major vaccine shortages in the future. I bet that the vaccine will be as available every year as the flu vaccine is.

Agreed. That's why future restrictions probably don't make sense. The restrictions when it first came out made sense due to the smaller supply. But now that it doesn't require as much R&D to produce a vaccine which can match the new variants (aka mRNA vaccine technology is incredible), there really isn't a need for the restrictions as much
