I got vaccinated (well, I'm between shots, but whatever) as a reasonably healthy person in their 40s for 2 reasons: It makes me less likely to transmit the virus to other people, and because even though my risk of severe illness is low, the vaccines still reduce it.

I certainly expect restrictions to continue to relax. It is unfortunate that people didn't have a few more weeks patience, that along with higher vaccine uptake would have ended things sooner.
