Research has established that vaccinated people can become
infected and infect others. For purposes of this question, assume
that the vaccine does nothing at all to inhibit people from
transmitting the virus to others. Given that assumption, do you
think the optimal out-of- pocket price should currently be $0,
above $0 so that people must pay something themselves, or below $0,
so that people are paid to get the vaccine? You do not have to give
a precise price. However, provide the economic rationale(s) for
your answer. Organize your rationale(s) based on the two criteria
that should be used to evaluate all policy decisions such as
vaccine pricing.
