Children and grandchildren should get the vaccine first

Lately, several people have expressed they wish their COVID-19 vaccine would have gone to a younger person. These letters surely touched a resonating note among many of us. There are very few seniors, I suspect, who would not gladly give up their vaccination for their child or grandchild who, it has been deemed, is not yet eligible.

It seems that those of us out here in “ordinary land” know what seems fair and best.

Of course we don’t want to die. But would I think my quiet elderly life should take priority over, say, that of my beautiful 19-year-old granddaughter? Of course not. And I am not alone in thinking this. Is anybody listening to us? Sheila Mackenzie Waterloo
