Lets widen the view a bit.
Say 50million people in the UK have no absolute contra-indications to the
vaccine.
At say 5UKP each, that costs 250million.
The cost to the country of influenza each year is 2 billion plus (I read
somewhere) because of abscence from work, health costs, etc.
Now, lets apply EBM.
Is this good value for money or not?
