With a relatively small supply of vaccines being prepared for delivery within the US as early as the middle of December, necessarily difficult questions about prioritization have become front and center.
I feel very strongly that if you have tested positive for COVID, you should be in the lowest priority group. This isn't punitive---although I admit I do struggle with feelings of resentment towards people who are still catching this disease, as illogical as that is. Rather, it is smart public health policy: There are two goals,
1) minimize the number of deaths due to COVID, and
2) minimize the amount of time it takes to squelch the pandemic.
These goals are not at odds, but they do suggest different strategies. The first suggests we prioritize those that have the greatest risk of dying. The second suggests immunizing those at the greatest risk of contracting the disease. If you have had COVID, you very likely have at least partial immunity, at least in the short term. A vaccine given to someone who has had the disease leaves a susceptible person open to contracting it for the first time. So to you I say, back of the line.
I can't find anyone discussing prior infection as a prioritization criterion, which has me very concerned that we will unnecessarily prolong the epidemic as we wait for enough vaccine production to cover the entire population.
