  text: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>We study the effect of education
    on vaccination against COVID in Germany in a sample of individuals above the age
    of 60. In ordinary least squares regressions, we find that, in this age group,
    one more year of education goes along with a 0.7 percentage point increase in
    the likelihood to get a COVID vaccination. In two stage least squares regressions
    where changes in compulsory schooling laws are used as exogenous variation for
    education, the effect of an additional year of education is estimated to be zero.
    The results hold for the compliers to the policy change which are older individuals
    at the lowest margin of education.</jats:p>
