No offense, but it seems to me that they already had plenty of people with whom to deal when Category 1B included the general population over 75 living in the community (as opposed to nursing home/assisted living, etc.) and the others (essential workers, still trying to get all healthcare workers, too, etc.) already established for that category. I fail to understand just why all of a sudden those 65 years old and up were also suddenly invited in.....that adds a WHOLE other bunch of people to the group currently eligible -- and for what reason? Serious question. Why???
It doesn't make sense to me, but of course I am not running this thing in the first place. Why not just get the 75+ cohort and the essential workers and the others already established as being in Group 1B done first, or at least mostly done, before allowing a significant number of other people to flood into what is already somewhat restricted territory when it comes to actual vaccine doses available?
I really hope that those who are in the age/career/profession/jobs groups originally designated as eligible by dint of being in Category 1B are still given priority..... IMHO the 65+ crowd needs to be at the back of the line when there are an awful lot of 75+, 80+ years and older folks ahead of them, still waiting for inoculation.
