The residents who didn't get it: those working 80+ hrs/week in the emergency room, in the ICU, intubating patients, operating on patients, etc etc etc

Some people I know of who got it instead: Radiologists who primarily work from home. Administrative roles with relatively low (or no) patient interaction.

Not saying those people shouldn't get vaccinated -- just that if you were asked to come up with a priority list, it wouldn't be this.

Thanks for the info, that stinks for sure. I hope they get it right now that they are revisiting the issue. I have a soft spot for that hospital, my first child was born there.

They are trying.

For what its worth, faculty across multiple departments (including those radiologists) stepped up and declined their scheduled vaccine appointments until residents get vaccinated first.

It's a big place made up of mostly smart (and good) people. A lot of outrage is at the administration's poor planning, failure to respond quickly the problem, and subsequent excuse-making.
