In the Q&A it was asked whether optometrists will be included in the “very high” priority group.

In the response, @TrevorArnason says that optometrists are not included in the current phase, which is said to be focused on workers with “patient-facing” roles.

Wondering how optometry is not included in this category, when we are arguably closer to the face of the patient than any other health care provider.

@VeraEtches singles out optometrists as one of the few health care providers left out of the extensive list that are going to be eligible for the current round of vaccines.

Optometrists play an important role in primary care. Ensuring the vaccination of this group will allow patients to feel safe coming to us rather than ignoring important eye care needs, or pushing more strain into the hospital system.
