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.

They're free in my province (Ontario. Canada) - you can just walk into any pharmacy, or book an appointment to avoid lineups.

At this morning's management meeting, our unplanned absence metric showed 18 people out sick. So my factory is also providing vaccinations on-site during work hours next month. At least in our factory, it's worth paying people full wages while they get their shots.

A few years ago, the company I worked for did the same, and it used to be common for flu shots in bigger companies in London back in the days. I'm always amazed how often people get sick - and thankful that I'm (so far) super healthy.
