If you are retired, you have the ability to stay in quarantine. Give the vaccine to those out in the public so they can work and continue to feed their families, pay the bills etc.. They also will help stop the spread when they become immune.
I’m in the elderly group and have a medical condition that makes me in the high death risk group. That said, we have millions of workers in need of the vaccine to save their homes and families.
We older retirees should be last..... Before you ask, YES, I will be happy to give my place in the vaccination line to a working person.
I think the first to get the vaccine will be the next, present and some past presidents on television to boost confidence. I agree frontline workers should be the first, those in nursing homes and medical facilities and then seniors ( prefer that term to elderly which has negative connotations). We will get the vaccine as soon as possible. Overall, I think Villagers have done a good job wearing masks and social distancing, but eager for clubs to resume as normal.
