Please just start vaccinating by age and at all hours of the day. I know how many other at-risk categories there are. But, the strict rules and lobbying for each of them are getting in the way of getting millions of shots in arms.
There are no shortage of groups that have valid arguments for why they should be prioritized. But trying to draw all that up and then comply with it is costing lives. We need to just pick an age and let those people show up. For those that aren't mobile, send a worker to them.
This is the greatest national emergency in our lifetimes. You want to help small business recover? You want jobs back? Get the shots in millions of arms fast. Administer vaccines 24 hours a day. Use that PPP money to pay OT and bonuses to the healthcare workers with the needles.
The more rules and complexity and process we add, the slower this will be. As we have all heard before, "Keep it simple, stupid." Simple works. Everyone, literally everyone, will be safer and our economy will recover if we get the largest possible number of shots out there.
Please, Dems and GOP alike, just get the rules the hell out of the way and let docs, nurses, techs, and everyone else do their jobs by helping the vaccinate the greatest number of people.
