PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) More than a hundred Stanford Health Care resident physicians and fellows demonstrated against the rollout of their administration s COVID-19vaccine plan Friday morning and voiced concerns about their place in the pecking order.
Residents are doctors in training who often work upwards of 80 hours per week and are often the first in line to treat patients with COVID-19, including in the emergency, as well as the ICU. But ahead of the hospital s plan to begin vaccinating its workforce this week, many were surprised to learn that they wouldn t be in the first wave. To not be offered a vaccine when I am at the hospital, FaceTiming in attendings (physicians) from home so they can see their patients, and I am in the COVID-positive room, and those attendings are offered a vaccine, it s very hurtful, said Stanford resident physician Dr. Sarah Johnson.

Protests erupted Friday at Stanford University Medical Center Hospital in California, where frontline medical residents and fellows staged a walkout in frustration over the hospital s botched Covid-19 vaccine distribution. First in the room! Back of the line! they shouted, according to a video posted to Twitter.
Demonstrators accused the medical center of prioritizing more senior doctors and other medical workers who don t directly interface with patients over employees at the highest risk of contracting Covid-19 from patients. We came out here after we learned that only seven out of 1,349 residents were selected for the first wave of vaccinations, Charles Marcus, a third-year resident, told NBC Bay Area.
