Large number of Health Care and Frontline workers are refusing COVID Vaccine
If true and as widespread as it seems, this may mean 1B can receive it sooner. Dallas has set up a registration website this week to attempt to expedite the process... so if you're elderly or immunocompromised and your personal risk assessment says it's worth it, you can get the ball rolling.
I'm not trying to get in a vaccine debate... Just providing a link to the website for those who want it.
Personally, I'm not rushing to get it, but that wouldn't necessarily be true if I was twenty years older or immunocompromised or had a family member who lived with me who was.
I could technically get 1B right now because I actively have cancer, but I do expect in a couple of weeks they'll be able to cut the rest of it out.
We do have a family member coming to stay with us at the end of January temporarily who isn't old enough to get it and doesn't fit the qualifications for being immunocompromised (yet is frail and weak and at risk all the same), and we plan to hunker down at home with much more limits on company for a while.
We already see very few people (especially as relative to normal for us), and rarely leave the house, but we're going to be more strict on the lead up to her coming and during her stay. We probably even have to pause that homeless outreach we've been doing every couple of weeks.
