After one dose of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines, people over 80 had a similar and "very encouraging" antibody response, a study has found.
With the UK's decision to delay a second dose, the findings are reassuring, the University of Birmingham researchers say.
This is particularly true for older people, whose immune systems are less robust than younger people's.
The vaccines are thought to have saved more than 10,000 lives in the UK.

Shoppers in Wolverhampton have been urged to act responsibly, amid the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
From Monday, non-essential shops have been able to trade.
But Wolverhampton City Council said it had received reports of people not following safety measures and failing to practice social distancing, with up to a third of people found not to be wearing face coverings.
"Most shoppers and retailers are acting very responsibly, and we thank them for helping to keep themselves and others safe," Ross Cook, the council’s director of city environment.
"Disappointingly, however, some people are not wearing face coverings, following one-way systems or practicing social distancing when they should be.
"Our staff have also witnessed overcrowding in some stores and issues around the correct use of PPE in some close contact services.
"I’d urge customers to ensure they are following the Covid-19 rules to help keep everyone safe from this deadly virus," he said.

It says only 18% of properties have been sold so far this year.
The firm said at the other end of the scale and reflecting the trend for less-centralised living, the hottest place for sellers is Newquay.
In the Cornish town, eight out of 10 listed homes have been sold, subject to contract, since the start of the year.
