State health officials and local leaders are racing to navigate several unexpected hurdles, including the awkward decision of how to rank health-care workers and nursing home residents for first dibs.
The easy part was deciding who should receive the very first doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Few people could disagree with the wisdom of prioritizing health-care personnel or nursing home residents, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided to do on December 3. It’s a bid to safeguard our finite pool of frontline medical workers, as well as the most vulnerable people.
Millions of health care workers are slated to receive the first batch of potentially lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines by the end of this month. But not all of them want to be first in line.
Only one-third of a panel of 13,000 nurses said they would voluntarily take a vaccine; another third said they wouldn’t and the rest said they were unsure, according to a late October survey by the American Nurses Association.
Nina Siegrist, a registered nurse with Hospice of the Piedmont in Charlottesville, Virginia, said she wasn’t at all eager to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
“I actually even hate getting a flu shot, but I’ve had to get one every year since I became a nurse, she said. Where I stand is that if my medical director says, ‘Listen, all hospice clinicians are going to get vaccinated,’ then I’ll get vaccinated. But I definitely want to read the details on the clinical trials first.”
