I've encouraged "shot selfies" here for vaccine promotion & education for a decade. BUT there was a glut of vaccine; all were able to vax.
Some of the COVID vax selfies by medical peeps feel entitled/smug to me. Worry it may have opposite effect in a time of vaccine scarcity. 1/
In fact IMO medical tweets/images may cast division between the public and health care workers. Perhaps even increase distrust. In many current doc/RN selfies, I don't see sameness. I can see exclusivity. Like others I am BEYOND pleased frontline workers are getting immunized 2/
