So a marginal cost of $24. Folks with natural immunity will have a stronger reaction to the vaccine, but let’s be conservative. Let’s say 12 hours of symptoms - headache, fatigue, light fever. Very standard with a shot. At around the minimum wage of $8/hour that’s a cost of $96. How much do you value your time?
Full disclosure: happily vaccinated. The vaccine is safe, but it’s dammed inconvenient.

How much do you value your time? Other rich countries solve that problem by letting you take time off if you're sick. Even if working minimum wage.
