2021-01-24Medical Students
As medical students begin to graduate and enter the workforce, they are being called upon to work with COVID patients and thus becoming eligible to receive the COVID vaccine. These students are able to circumvent their initial vaccine placement because they are frontline workers. In some cases, they are still eligible to receive the vaccine while students. For example, Tufts students in their third and fourth year are eligible to receive the vaccine. Other colleges have also started providing vaccines to students. The logic the Cooper Medical School uses for vaccinating their students is that the United States is currently facing a physician shortage, so they need their graduates ready to serve in the medical field immediately after graduating. https://now.tufts.edu/articles/tufts-medical-and-dental-students-start-receive-covid-19-vaccine https://cmsru.rowan.edu/about/news/details/2020-cmsru-students-being-receiving-covid19-vaccinations
