My friend's daughter works in one of the hospitals on NYC with the most covid cases. He said some of the nurses who had covid and recovered are not willing to take the vaccine.

@mayofeb2020- This is just so discouraging. I don't think that they are thinking about it clearly.

@mayofeb2020, Your response didn't give reasons nurses gave for not taking the vaccine but it triggered something concerning that my daughter recently shared.
Her closest friend is part of a very large, family owned commercial/ personal laundry in Dallas. The friend shared that many hospital staff coming into the laundry have expressed misgivings about taking the vaccine, even though they've not had Covid themselves and although they are first listed. Their shared concern is that they feel that the ill and very elderly need the vaccine first.
My daughter and I were surprised at this because TX is a state with high Covid numbers and medical staffing throughout the state is reaching crisis status in many areas.
At 77 in my state, I am eligible for the vaccine but my ambivalence about the vaccine is that most in the over 65 yr age group are retired and can stay home to allow those crucially daily needed first responders the opportunity first. Without them, we'll all be out of luck!
