Frontline Health Workers Are First Up For Vaccines. But Medical Residents Say They've Fallen Through The Cracks


A syringe filled with COVID-19 vaccine at North Suburban Medical Center in Thornton, Dec. 17, 2020.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, medical residents at the CU School of Medicine have been working with COVID-19 patients. As the hospitals they work at started to get Pfizer vaccines for frontline health care workers this month, residents were excited and relieved. But, in the first week of vaccine distribution they said they were treated as less of a priority than other medical professionals working with COVID-19 patients. 
“It really felt like a willful disregard for our health and wellbeing,” said a senior resident who works at both Denver Health and UCHealth. “It felt like we were forgotten that no one had even considered to include 1,200 members of the health-care workforce in this plan to vaccinate people in the first round of vaccinations.”
