Penn State Health doctors on Wednesday acknowledged that health care workers who don’t directly care for patients are receiving COVID-19 vaccine, even as outsiders who are older or have serious medical conditions endure long waits.
They defended it, explaining that even hospital employees who aren’t directly involved in patient care have a crucial role in keeping the hospital running, and it’s therefore appropriate to vaccinate them.
