The percentage of medical personnel that are not getting the vaccine is much larger than you realize.
This CV is called a novel CV, meaning it is new and that newness brings with it risks of the unknown. As is known right now, getting the vaccine protects you from catastrophic bad hospitalization (and death) from CV. It does NOT guarantee forever immunity. It guarantees SOME immunity for SOME period of time (3 months, 1 year, 2 years), which is not known at this time. Another UNKNOWN is after 2 doses and a time period, can you STILL give the CV to another person? it is logical that you can't, but STILL unknown. They are researching that now. Until they have that ANSWER - the medical experts are advising people to CONTINUE to wear a mask and stay apart andnot indoors. This is for the group good, the humanitarian good!
