Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone.
Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them.
What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but have the ability to pay whatever the cost, especially when there are those who are ready, willing and able to get the vaccine, who are in desperate need and patiently waiting in line.
That was not the case in Elbert County Georgia, and they should not be punished for serving their community.. I only wish more medical centers in the country did the same.
Only then can we ever expect to get this country, and the world, back to some semblance of normalcy!
