Abstract in brief
- This text discusses the ethical dilemma faced during pandemics about whether healthcare workers (HCWs) should get priority access to vaccines, especially during COVID-19, due to scarce resources.
- It evaluates both deontological (duty-based) and utilitarian (outcome-based) reasons for prioritizing HCWs, highlighting that most agree on their importance but raising complexities about who qualifies as an HCW.
- The article also considers practical challenges in implementing these prioritizations and emphasizes the need for ethical consensus in resource allocation during health crises.]

A compelling article on why healthcare workers (HCWs) should be prioritized for Covid vaccination but who should be included under the HCW umbrella is ethically less certain. https://t.co/IZWuqL9Zxh
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are doing it tough in Covid times. We argue they deserve priority vaccination (paper below). Our reasoning suggests we owe them a lot more than just that. Where to from here? https://t.co/QFC3R1jZKp
@DrKGregorevic Agree with the reasoning, and equity point when you are already vaccinated. Do things change when there's less vaccine? We think so...we wrote about it. https://t.co/SldPGmodVp
Two-thirds of staff at infected Sydney nursing home unvaccinated! Even now. Healthcare workers must be vaccinated, no moral excuses. https://t.co/SldPGmodVp
