      Given the data over the last year, and shown in this thread, I will be eternally perplexed if the US doesn't choose to vaccinate the elderly first and foremost, along with those who take care of them directly. Check out the attached prioritization of Wales, which makes sense. https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1336841338923278336 …pic.twitter.com/TphcF78tvO

      US is clearly not immunising elderly first...where are the media pictures of elderly being immunised, as there were in UK? I'm genuinely puzzled, and also lack of outrage by HCW colleagues...

      I don’t understand the policy at all. Prioritizing the elderly is also what we need to do to bring relief to hospitals. Healthcare workers deserve protection, too, but they obviously do not want to keep treating record numbers and watch them die with better PPE & while immunized.

      Yep! When you and I were advocating for masks 9-10 months ago, I was told repeatedly HCWs need to come first: despite the fact that best way to protect HCWs is to reduce disease burden...here we go again.

      Here's something I want to hear your thoughts on... preclinical med students receiving the vaccine. Seems wrong to me. We are mostly in our 20s!

      Tell me this isn’t happening now. People directly taking care of the elderly, for example in nursing homes, should be vaccinated now whatever their age. The first wave has to be geared towards vaccinating the elderly or ring vaccinating to protect them.

          I agree personally. Did a small poll & it seems like many will take the vaccine. There are ~40k preclinical med students. Not all will qualify for/take the vaccine. But I think the broader point is not everyone in healthcare should have the same priorityhttps://twitter.com/OmkarGV/status/1337163056363810817 …

          Omkar Venkatesh @OmkarGV
          #medtwitter if you are a preclinical student should you make a point of holding off on the vaccine? We may still be required to see patients but it seems like a waste to use precious vaccines on young ppl with minimal patient contact. For the next few months should we...

          Here @ucsf there is a complex algorithm of priority, which is nuanced, but far from perfect. I have no idea how it fits into broader CA immunization prioritization sadly...
