idk something about vaccinating caregivers but not the actual vulnerable disabled people doesn’t sit right with me. is there something im missing?

It seems like it rests on the assumption that disabled people are entirely home bound. I’m the most exposed person in my family BECAUSE I’m immune compromised and have constant dr appts

It also seems to assume that caregiver relationships are perfect - disabled people are actually very vulnerable to the power dynamic of needing a caregiver. A caregiver can be vaccinated but still not complete all errands that require leaving the house

Honestly to me it just seems like a “reward” for the “burden” of dealing with a disabled person, while also acting like that disabled person isn’t a human worth saving. Open to other interpretations though.

We don’t even have proof the vaccine prevents transmission. So a caregiver brings covid into the house and is already healthy and is now further protected, but they could potentially spread it to an immune compromised person we decided can’t get a vaccine? Why?

The be clear I’m referring to California’s guidelines, which allow a family member who cares for a disabled person (in a non professional capacity) to be vaccinated while disabled people are not eligible for vaccination.
