On a serious note, I just read an article that my local hospital will be one of the first in the area to receive the vaccine and the first recipients will be healthcare workers at the highest risk for exposure.

The hospital also will not be requiring employees to get the vaccine.

As executive director of outpatient services at Cameron Memorial, Aldred said unlike the flu vaccine that's been tested for years, he doesn't think any health care or other employer will require workers to get the coronavirus vaccine because it's so new.

Here is the quote from the article.

"We want our staff members to be fully educated with up to date information on the vaccinations and on the vaccine, specifically the COVID vaccine, and to allow them to make their own choice for themselves and in the future for their families, on whether or not they're going to receive the vaccine," he said.”

This just kind of struck me that even people in the healthcare field may not be sure of the safety of the vaccine due to the hurried development and small amount of testing.
