Who Should Get Vaccinated First?

[Murrmurr]

My brother works at a Walmart and took all the precautions BUT he got Covid because the customers (ie: old folks and otherwise) refused to wear their masks in the store. So I disagree with that comment. We are more at risk than all of you because we are working in this contaminated area every single day. YOU all have the option to stay home and not get anywhere near it. For us it's a daily risk of life to make sure you have groceries, food and other needed services.

I meant second after health care workers, li'l mouse. Health care workers got theirs first, people out in the workforce should have been next.

I agree Murrmurr, they have been working all through the
lockdowns and should get it first, before the "work-at-home"
people, but in this Country they are determined to go by age,
eldest first, there is no word from the Government that they
have heard what people are saying, so unfortunately they will
have to wait.

I will get it before my brother because I am older, yet he is a
disabled "Vet", ex-Royal Air Force, again, not old enough.

Now some people here in the US are getting angry because loads of vaccine is being reserved for people who need a second dose while people are still waiting for the first one.

We have 70;000 over 70 in our county and got 30,000 doses. I filled out my form, got my appointment, then got him up, got his formed filled out, got his appointment. His appointment got confirmed, my did not. But he does not have allergies. I do. So, maybe if you have certain issues you cant get the shot. idk.

Confusion about vaccine protocol is mounting, too. Even at county levels, some saying first-come, first-served, others decided to create new sub-recipient groups to the established recipient groups. Meanwhile unvaccinated people are getting PO'd. It's getting kinda crazy over here.

IMO the caregivers and the working people should be the first to get vaccinated because without them we old folks would be sunk.

I'm so thankful that I have the means and opportunity to be able to hunker down until things get back to normal.

Sometimes I feel like the old can-do spirit of The Greatest Generation has been lost and now it's just every man for himself.

We'll get through this.

In every article I've read about this, it always says the health care workers and first responders are the first to get it. The old folks are in the second group.
