An image of a healthcare worker holding a bottle labeled the COVID-19 Vaccine.
As news of a successful vaccine broke, the question of who should receive the vaccine first was on everyone's mind. Most agree that healthcare workers should be the very first, however, opinions differ about who should receive it next. Some suggest that if teenagers receive the vaccine in the second wave, it will minimize the spread of the virus. Others claim teens should receive the vaccine last as they are considered less vulnerable to the virus.
What are your feelings? Research and find the different “priority lists” being presented. Then, ask yourself which occupations should receive the vaccine first. Think about the risk each occupation has and the impact it has on the spread of the virus. Write your own priority list and share it with us.
