Stanford Medical Residents Revolt After Doctors Who Don t Treat COVID Patients Get Priority for Vaccine Before Them
Residents working at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto staged a protest Friday to demand that they be given priority in the line for healthcare workers getting the Pfizer COVID vaccine. It became known this week that while there are more than 1,300 residents and fellows at the hospital, many of whom are working on the front lines with COVID-positive patients in the county that currently has the highest rate of surging infections in the Bay Area there has been no clear plan to get them vaccinated, while many surgeons and doctors who do not see patients daily are getting vaccines first.
