I had discussions about vaccines with relatives and there I've tried to make a case where I think it would be beneficial for them. I've dropped the topic for those that don't want it, perhaps only jokingly bringing it up every now and then, but they do have to test before if they come by.
What I don't understand is this obsession about the vaccination status of strangers. The only time that I felt upset about somebody else's vaccination status was with (our) teachers that said they won't get it. Because kids can't be protected by the vaccine, I think it's justified that the teachers are asked to vaccinate and the manufacturer/gov must compensate them for any side-effects.
Other than that everyone has a right to decide what they put in their body. The state of the pandemic does not justify violating this right.

It's an important part of the efficacy of the vaccination of highly contagious pathogens. It's why smallpox is now just a page on Wikipedia, rather than an existential risk to your life.
