Covid Vaccine - Temporarily locked

Surely in general younger fit people are less likely to be affected and are better able to wait.  

And likely in a position where they are more likely to spread the virus. I know 4 very vulnerable people very well. Me, OH, and two very vulnerable daughters due to severe Asthma and Heart condition, I do know others. 

Of those 4 there is only one that I would consider would really be a candidate worth inoculation. That is my youngest with the serious asthma. That is because she is a lone parent of two young lads that rely on her. When they had Flu at start of January she had to wear a medical grade mask most of the time.

I think you will find that the first will be health workers followed by those over 65 and those with known vulnerabilities.  In fact the Government has indicated it several times.  I hope the four you mention will be early candidates.

In my opinion the decision should not primarily be a medical ethics decision. Rather a governmental policy decision aimed primarily at maintaining hospital provisions and, more importantly, reducing the spread.

It is a govt policy decision, it’s the govt who are deciding who gets it👍🏻🙂

I agree.  The medics advise and the government decides. 

EasyT I assume there will be no compulsion so the choice will be yours.  

JVT has just said the theme of age being the highest priority is most likely.
