Heard a discussion about similar a few days ago. He believed that a large portion of those still not vaccinated but are elligable for vaccination were ppl who had allrdy had the virus and and not thought it worth to then also get vaccinated. Could be a pretty large group. Esp since we were first told it protected against future infections pretty well and it was almost unheard of ppl getting it twice.
If u have had it, how likely is it you will get it bad the 2nd time, i have not seen any numbers at all which i find unsatisfactory.Lets say you are 20-50 years old. A total number of deaths in sweden for this age group amounts to 170 or similar. So u had it and suffered no long term effects, what are the dangers for you in contracting the virus again? The risk reward ratio is likely not all that good of an incentive but since i never saw any numbers on this i can only guess ofc. But if the risk is still big i would have thought that could be a good incentive to get a group of ppl onboard with the vaccination that perhaps had not yet come around to it. Esp now when it seems they are not protecting their old and frail to any major degree, without numbers why should they risk it?

The question how we (ok, slightly different we, I am in Berlin) get more people vaccinated is key in my opinion.
We are a bit above 70%, and I don't believe that those 30% are all too young/have medical exceptions/are antivaxxers.
There are ample possibilities to get the shots, but unless you have a proactive GP its still a combination of gathering information, flexibility (time) and determination to get the vaccine.
Those are all resources and privileges not everyone has.
For example the official where/how to get the vaccine and appointment booking sites you find after a google greet you with a wall of text, and are a nightmare to navigate.
Which means unless you have at least average reading comprehension you need help, and even then it's way too complicated, to the point that you get frustrated and sack it.
Then you need time to get to the centre, maybe money is so tight you can't afford the ticket, and so on.
This might be different in the UK thanks to more data available, but we don't even know who needs a direct simple invitation and/or incentives to go get the shot.
