If her employers are essential and work outside the home then she should definitely get the vaccine.

We gave a letter to our nanny to be vaccinated. Said she provided in-home childcare for our family. We are both essential workers and our children go to preschool part time in-person. We have asked her to accept a high level of risk by working for our family. If she could get the vaccine, it would help us bubble our kids since my husband and I were vaccinated in 1A.

They vaccinated her in Arlington. It has taken our stress level down a notch knowing that our kids won't expose an unvaccinated person in our home and we won't accidentally expose her and not know it.

Good for you. Yeah it would take my stress level down to get the vaccine too. Fact is, not eligible.

Virginia does check if you have an appointment.

I'm essential. Shouldn't my husband get the vaccine too then under your rationale? Shouldn't anyone who lives with an essential worker? See how that doesn't work...

It's immoral and if I knew my nanny did this I'd have a very hard time continuing to employ them. Wait your turn just like everyone else has to.

Nannies are essential and should have been categorized with childcare providers- that’s what they are. Assuming your husband works from home, he isn’t at risk at exposing others- nanny still has to go home to her family. Your comment was rude.

Nannies are not Frontline workers. While essential to some families, they are not essential to society in general. On the other hand, daycare workers are both essential to the functioning of society and Frontline workers. Due to the difference, every state has made daycare workers a priority, While nannies are only prioritized in states with extra vaccine.

This is not immoral. I am a nanny and my MB and her Husband were So glad and relieved to know that I got the 1st shot already. Their kids and their family will be safe. What kind of person you are. Awful for sure

If you go back to when the pandemic first started, nannies who worked for employers where both parents worked outside the home was considered essential.

Having the vaccine doesn’t stop you from possibly spreading covid. It just means that you’re not as likely to get covid, and if you do, it’s more likely to be a mild or asymptomatic case.

To those families, yes. But plenty of essential workers aren’t currently eligible for the vaccine, because they’re not frontline workers.

OP here,

Getting the first dose was easy. I had a 4:30 appointment so I arrived at 4:00. Parking was free and plentiful. There was plenty of room for social distancing and it didn't feel crowded at all. I had to show my appointment confirmation and ID at the door and then again right before i go the vaccine. After the injection they ask you to wait in a area for 15 min. it was quick and easy.

Ignore the Troll.

Sign up and get vaccinated.

There is a vaccination site on the Inova Fairfax campus.

Don't just show up. Have an appointment. They will check your ID (drivers license etc) and a copy of the appt confirmation (you can just show your phone).

I live in Fairfax County so I went through the county website.
