This is absurd to complain about. Lots of other people should be higher priority.
Edit: I’m not surprised at the downvotes, but I’m just laughing. It’s like everybody’s brain has turned to mush! How on earth do you expect them to prioritize these vaccines if not based on age and other risk factors?
It’s because you didn’t read the article. Residents are doctors in training, not just people living there - and they are interacting with sick people.
Guess who is walking the halls filled with COVID-infected patients, and who is WFH, only having to leave the house once every two weeks for a grocery run?
Unless they are people who could be seeing patients if they got vaccinated.
Maybe they shouldn't be top priority, but if they're dealing directly with covid patients they sure as heck should have higher priority than a VP or administrator that's been working from home this whole time.
On their required interactions with many infected people, causing them to be risky for spreading the disease and causing labor shortages in the hospital if they are found to be infected.
It makes no more sense to administer the vaccine to an elderly hospital administrator working from home than it does to give it to an elderly professional of any other kind working from home. They should get the vaccine eventually, but they should not be among the first when vaccines are rationed.
