A Disney activist in California talked about getting the Covid-19 vaccine on Facebook – she says she is able to jump the line because her mother-in-law has a “big deal” at a local hospital.
“When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think I would get the COVID-19 vaccine today. But we are here. I am very happy
“Science is basically my religion, so this was a big deal for me,” added the woman, who described herself as nothing less than healthy.
When a commenter asked a stranger how the famous Pfizer vaccine – which is initially capable of finger-pointing for front-line health care workers and vulnerable people – the woman replied that her husband’s aunt was older at Redlands Community Hospital.
The vaccinated woman – who posted a photo of her coronavirus immunization record from the hospital – added that the center had leftover doses that would have gone bad if they hadn’t used them immediately.
Then the post online post is taken down.
The Pfizer vaccine can be stored for up to 30 days, then five days in the refrigerator, in deep-freeze hospital set-ups, the company says.
The hospital defended itself in a statement to the Register, saying: “Redlands Community Hospital has allocated the Pfizer vaccine to its leading physicians, healthcare workers and support staff per the California Department of Public Health guidelines.
“After administering to physicians and staff interested in the vaccine, there were many doses left.
“Because the reconstituted Pfizer vaccine must be used within hours or disposed of, many doses were given to non-front line healthcare workers so that valuable vaccine could not be thrown away.”
But Andrew Numer, a public health professor at the University of California, Irvine, said at the outlet that the Disney employee’s vaccination “does not pass the odor test.”
“Some nurses, technicians, janitors and orderlies need to be vaccinated before some random members of the community.”
However, the CDC’s recommendations on who should be vaccinated first were, “In the end, it’s still up to the states and the individual sites to be vaccinated,” Dr. David said. David D. Lowe, a senior associate research dean at UC’s Riverside School of Medicine, told the Register.
A spokesman for the California Department of Public Health told the outlet that the state has made it clear who should get what first, adding that “federal and state vaccine guidelines prioritize our frontline healthcare workers who are at risk of fighting the virus.” From day one. ”
