When the covid19 vaccine is available, who should be vaccinated first? Young first or Seniors first?

[ghost]

Who should be the first batch to receive the vaccine? The seniors or the young? What's the pros and cons of either of these group getting it first? Any thoughts?

I doubt if anyone will be interested in a vaccine by the time one is ready because the virus would have burned itself out already.

young should get it first

by young, i mean under 18 children & teenagers

the elderly are more likely to have only a few years of their lives remaining anyway.

their vaccination will be lower on the priority list.

 

[Dr Christopher Cheok C S]

All our Ministers and Members of Parliament should take it first.

Just want to be sure it is safe.

Children and seniors should get it first. They are the most vulnerable.

Children are the least vulnerable. All the data points to a very low risk profile for children.

Children needs to be protected first because they will be susceptible to long term effects should they contract covid.

The probability of death or long term effects is greater for influenza. Do you take your daughter for a flu shot regularly?

Elizabeth Terese Cover
Elizabeth was just 23-months old when she started exhibiting symptoms of flu. Three days later she passed away when her lungs filled with blood in a complication known as bi-lateral pneumonia.

It was Thanksgiving Day, 2003 when Vira noticed that her 23-month-old daughter, Elizabeth, wasn’t feeling well. She was just not acting like her sweet, energetic self. Instead, she was lethargic and cranky, and she didn’t want to be touched which was very unusual; usually she was very cuddly.


The family was celebrating the holiday in Colorado Springs, but Vira decided to take Elizabeth home to Denver because she felt Elizabeth would be more comfortable in her own bed and Vira wanted to be near her doctor so she could have Vira seen immediately after the holiday. On the way home, she called her pediatrician and left a message and by the time they finally arrived home, Elizabeth’s fever has broken and Vira was hopeful that things might be getting better. However, Elizabeth remained lethargic.


The doctor eventually called and advised Vira to get over-the-counter medication for Elizabeth. He said that unless her fever got to 104 degrees she shouldn’t need to bring her in. Elizabeth’s fever never increased over 103 degrees. Vira had told her husband that unless Elizabeth was doing much better the following day, she had planned to take her in to the doctor when he got home from work.


At noon that day, Vira was sitting on the sofa with her daughter when she suddenly threw up. Vira noticed blood in the vomit and immediately grabbed her daughter and ran to the neighbors’ house for help. They called 911 and Vira started doing CPR on Elizabeth, who had become unconscious. When the paramedics arrived, they took Vira into another room of the house so that they could work on Elizabeth. They worked on her for what seemed like forever, and then they eventually came in and informed Vira that her precious child had passed.


An autopsy confirmed that Elizabeth had contracted the flu – H1N1 specifically – and that it had led to a complication called bi-lateral pneumonia in which her lungs filled with blood.


Elizabeth was supposed to have a doctor’s appointment on December 22, at which time she was scheduled to receive her recommended childhood vaccines, including a flu shot. But the appointment came too late. Elizabeth passed away just one month before her scheduled doctor appointment. She was one of 152 children in the U.S. who died from flu during the 2003-2004 flu season.


Vira often wonders what Elizabeth would be doing today if she were still here. She wonders about school and dances and boyfriends—all those “what-ifs”. But rather than dwell in grief, Vira advocates for the importance of flu immunization in hope that something positive can come out of her years of pain.


She believes Elizabeth’s story has a purpose, and that is to make a difference for other parents and their children. She wants others to know that flu can be very serious. Every year children – and even otherwise healthy adults – die from flu.


She explains that getting a flu vaccine every year means making sure you’re as protected as possible. Even though the vaccine can’t guarantee you won’t get flu, it can help to reduce the severity of illness and keep you out of the hospital. Vira shares her story to illustrate that flu vaccination can save your life or the life of a loved one, and that not vaccinating is a risk you shouldn’t take.

The elites and leaders should get vaccinated first. Don't let the people be the guinea pigs.

Ashley McCormick
Ashley’s doctors had a hard time finding a hospital that had an available ECMO machine because it was the peak of the flu season and they were all being used.

Ashley was a 23-year-old nanny who worked with a family that had three kids. On December 20, 2013 Ashley came home from work with a few cold symptoms – runny nose, sore throat and a headache. The next day she had a high fever, so she went to an urgent care where they did a test for flu and sent her home with some medication.


Two days later she received a phone call from the urgent care saying she tested positive for type A influenza. The doctor said since it had been longer than 48 hours since her first symptom, she could not take Tamiflu. Luckily, she started to feel better for a few days. But, then on Christmas she spiked a fever of 103.8. She loved Christmas so much she said she was fine. However, the next day she was not better so her parents took her to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with pneumonia and H1N1 influenza, which had attacked her lungs. Her lungs were so inflamed and damaged that her only hope was an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine that would let her lungs heal and provide oxygen to her organs.


Ashley’s doctors had a hard time finding a hospital that had an available ECMO machine because it was the peak of the flu season and they were all being used. They finally found a hospital that had one and she was transferred there and taken into surgery immediately. A short while later her parents were told she didn’t make it. On December 27, 2013, Ashley McCormick died from influenza.


Ashley was not vaccinated against the flu. Her parents want to share Ashley’s story so that no other family loses a loved one to this vaccine-preventable disease.
