But when it's my "turn" - I'll want to know that people who SHOULD be vaccinated, AND WANT to be vaccinated, were able to get theirs - before I get mine.
Again - just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Having permission to get something doesn't require that I get ahead of someone else who needs it more than I do.
I am ALLOWED to take a seat on the train. But if I see someone who needs the seat more than I do, I'll stand so they can sit.
I am ENTITLED to eat every single apple in the bag of apples that I bought at the supermarket. But if I see someone in passing who appears hungry, I will give them one of my apples.
Because it's the right thing to do.

Well not being in an a "risk" group and not being 65 makes it easy. My question still stands, how would you know that everyone in the essential worker group, the risk group and those over 65 have been vaccinated when your turn comes up. There are essential workers who are not taking the vaccine and it has been stated they will be put to the back of the line. The right thing to do varies depending on what group you are in, what you believe in and yes, your age and that will change as you move into our age group.
