Surely someone has done the maths on vaccinations.

Today I spent £108 on getting myself vaccinated against Flu and Covid.

Which led me to wonder what the cost of days off is to the economy. And how far off we are from it being worth the government vaccinating everyone.

It is bound to make sense.

I just wish could go and get it done as a walk in like it seems you did.

Looks like you can get vaccinated at pharmacies in Germany. Although you probably have to book.

And Australia.

Really? I've never heard of that. You got any sources I could follow up?

Though my doc is very good at getting me them for free, even though I'm not technically in any vulnerable group.

Years out of date, I think. Gov not funding universal vaccination any more AFAIK. I could be wrong. My GP seems to have to write some sort of justification.

Also demand is nearly zero. I had to go on a waiting list last year until the surgery had enough people to warrant using 2 vials (12 people). This is in a city of 55k+ people with a country catchment area.

Ah well. Thank you.
