You should be in 1A. If you're in an around COVID patients, working in facilities accepting COVID patients, sharing the same air as COVID patients, you should be 1A. It makes no difference if you've graduated yet, or not. Not only do you not need to get the virus, no one needs you getting it and passing it around the elderly patients who might die from it. You're still a healthcare worker, regardless of how much you get paid for it, and whether or not you get paid at all.
I have seen so much vaccination hesitancy around my area (even among healthcare workers, though usually not physicians) that it has made me wonder whether the phases are even necessary. I have a feeling that if they release the vaccines for anyone and everyone who wants it, there will still be a ton of doses left over.
One of the emails I got in the last couple days said one of the federal agencies (HHS?) was saying they were just guidelines, and stop being so strict and just get them into peoples arms.
Your spouse must have been thrilled with that exchange.
I broke down & took 400mg of ibuprofen today. Feeling fine now. Just go ahead, IMO
Update: Took alternating Tylenol, Naproxen, Tylenol again yesterday. Woke up today at 72 hours with symptoms 95% resolved.
Until society gains herd immunity?
I for one don't want to deal with the complaints patients will have if they see us in the ER without masks. Plus, it'll create situations in businesses where if they accept people by word that they received vaccine and let them in without a mask, then everyone will think they can enter without a mask... or they'll create fake vaccination cards.
Remember that non-N95 masks are for protecting others from you, not you from others. We still don't have good data on how vaccination (or prior infection) affects your ability to transmit virus to others. So in the absence of herd immunity from (hopefully) vaccination or some magical disappearance of the virus, it is appropriate to continue masking.
Damn, that's bleak. Will they at least give us the nice surgical masks w/ ties that last all day, or do we still have to keep the ****ty yellow ones?
I've seen, and still see, healthcare workers wearing N95s over surgical masks and beards.

A strange woman in blue lifted up my sleeve and injected this poison into me a month ago. I survived. Then, in a strange twist of fate, I was stabbed with it again two weeks ago, by another suspicious-appearing small person dressed in blue. Miraculously, I survived again. It must be a sign.Wtf?

Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine with 13 of those deaths apparently related to the side effects of the shots
All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old.
Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, "may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients," New York Post quoted Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, as saying in a statement on Friday.

I'm sure the family was very broken up about no longer receiving the social security checks. That deserves some pain and suffering money.
And we should shut down schools and universities (forever?) to ensure no nursing home residents ever die again!
Madness. Absolute madness.
Why not? A healthy dose of fascism is known to cure infectious viruses.
