When a COVID-19 vaccine is obtainable, healthcare services will have to make policy choices about who should get it.
Just one commenter on the poll stated, “I’ll be interested to see how numerous establishments cope with vaccination procedures. For illustration, the clinic where I do the job has a mandatory flu vaccination policy. Numerous of our staff members resent this mandatory vaccination but still go together with it because the flu vaccines have been all around for so lengthy that they have some reassurance of basic safety.”
