In reply to the discussion: So I have a moral dilemma. Advice welcomed . [View all]Farmgirl1961
(1,493 posts)34. Get it.
I had a similar but different moral dilemma a few weeks back. About a month ago I got a Slack message from a former college professor about the need for vaccine volunteering in my county. I jumped at the chance; filled out all the paperwork and then a few days later signed for a shift.
When I got to the volunteer location I was told that volunteers get to get vaccinated. I was both thrilled and felt terribly guilty that there were others who might be more in need.
But I wanted to be a regular volunteer, which does mean potential exposure. So there you go... one Moderna down and the 2nd one scheduled.

You aren't sure you want to get the vaccine? or not sure you want to get it now?

Oh no. I'm really want to be vaccinated. But so many people over 65 still have not.

I say get the vaccine. More supply is on the way. I do not feel you will be depriving anyone else
