Vacination costs money and while the doses are cheap the nurses needed to administer them aren't.
These costs and seeing how younger people appear to have strong protection against serious disease after at least 3 shots, make it questionable to continue giving shots to anyone younger than 65 in perpetuity. As for the older it can be worthwile to consider if making sure to prescribe paxlovid or other effective medicine early to anyone old is a better use of resources than making biannual covid vaccinations a permanent affair. You can also include considerations for the potential damage of vaccination exhaustion in the population as well.
