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.

I understand the vaccines are good at preventing hospitalisations, but I don't know how good the current vaccines+strains are at stopping you catching it (and isolating) or getting low level illness (with those few days off work) or sequelae. I'm still inclined to hope that they're better than nothing.
I've not had one yet, not eligible for NHS vaccine and I had Covid about 6 weeks ago so I'll wait till November for a private one. I have the money and I like to support my local community pharmacy who are always helpful in other ways.

It's certainly supposed to make the infections less severe. Whether it turns low-level into asymptomatic I don't know.
