My thoughts on this, I am not a health care worker, but if the numbers of critically ill people would be reduced, their jobs would dramatically improve. Just because the people here can isolate, it doesn’t mean others in their household may be able to. I understand their thoughts. The numbers won’t come down with them getting the vaccine until the 65 and Oder population does too. Just my thoughts here.

Knowing (I think) where you live, I suggest contacting Sanford Health in about 3 weeks to see where they are at. Our Department of Health is still adamant that all health care workers and long term care residents will be vaccinated first. After that, I believe the facilities will have a little leeway in deciding exactly who they vaccinate in the next phase, of front-line workers and those over 75, especially if they get more vaccine doses released as the incoming administration has indicated.

@migizii- Good morning. This is a very valid point. We have to have enough people who are vaccinated to create herd immunity for numbers to really matter, including those of us over 65.
