I believe Winn Dixie got it right. If those had been the vaccination guidelines across the country from the beginning, our infection rate would be much lower now. We, Seniors, can control our points of contact and how much we want to go out and control our level of exposure much more than all those who are working in jobs with contact with lots of people every single day. If they are vaccinated first, that protects Seniors and everyone else from possible infection. The only reason, in my opinion, that our Governor made "Seniors First" is that we vote at higher percentages than younger people. We need to put health before politics in a global pandemic. Even people in Nursing homes are better protected if their younger staff are vaccinated and tested first. That is a bubble that contacts can be controlled. Kudos to Winn Dixie!
