forthwith. Or, it should be offered to them immediately, at least. When it comes to essential workers, they are among the most essential.
Such vaccinations would not deprive anyone of the vaccine, but it would help to protect our President and Vice President. That is an essential goal.
Further, seeing them receive the vaccine would help encourage others to get vaccinated when the vaccines are generally available.

That one looks like the best option.
Even so, I would wait awhile to see
how it works in the general pop.

(25,812 posts)We still haven't seen any actual figures about the safety and efficacy of any of the vaccines, other than a vague "90% effective" or "95% effective". We still don't have any breakdown as to ages or health status of those in the tests.
I was listening to something on NPR yesterday which pointed out that children have not been included in the testing so far. And I'm pretty sure few, if any, senior citizens.
When they do get vaccinated, it should be in front of cameras and with great flourish. But not until we are more certain about these vaccines.
