I'd suggest at those odds it might be worth considering......
Seeing as this first lot is for the most vulnerable, the more the better IMO. These are the people you're trying to protect the most, you need to minimise the risk as much as possible and have the option to do so.
If it was a general one for all, then i'd say 90% is probably enough.
