So far I’ve seen separate arguments that healthcare workers, urban First Nations, teachers, Uber drivers & retail workers should get priority vaccination.
So I don’t think we should be surprised when it’s revealed it’ll mostly be hockey players. :)

In all honesty, I don’t envy the people making these decisions. There’s a lot of groups with legit arguments for priority vaccination, but you add them up and it’s not really priority vaccination any more.
HCWs, police, fire fighters, teachers, marginalized populations, essential workers, immunocompromised, caregivers, low-income individuals without sick leave... arguments for all of them and more.
The first 20% & the last 20% are easier to figure out than the 60% in the middle.

Anyways, I’m biased as an HCW. I want the vaccine. I have and will care for kids who are COVID+ when they’re in hospital with mental health concerns or when they come to ER. Though I’d argue strongly for my residents to get it before me.
In any case, the truth is we ‘all’ deserve to get the vaccine as soon as feasibly possible.
The other truth is that every person who gets the vaccine in the community helps us all, even indirectly.
The rise of variants has made it clear: we’re not safe till we’re all safe.
