That is another good point: the financial cost of vaccinating everyone proactively is far cheaper than the healthcare cost of having everyone getting exposed and many getting sick, reactively; moreover, the cost of time and productivity spent proactively vaccinating everyone is far less than the cost of time and the productivity lost dealing with those that get sick, reactively. From an employer, insurance or government perspective, they all would rather pay for a vaccine than for someone who is sick.
