Prioritize jabs for journalists, association says HIGH RISK: Journalists are vulnerable to contracting COVID-19 as they cover the pandemic, including talking to health workers and government officials By Shelley Shan / Staff reporter Reporters, photojournalists and live broadcast directors should be on the priority list for COVID-19 vaccination as they are at the frontline covering the latest developments, the Association of Taiwan Journalists said yesterday. “Journalists work long hours in a [high-risk] environment, from covering how people are affected by the [COVID-19] pandemic to interviewing disease prevention workers and public health officials. They could easily become spreaders of COVID-19,” the association said.
