I’m in NYC. Our 1b is a lot more than healthcare workers and people over 75.

OP. Every state I checked about phase 1b, it says: "1b: Persons 75 years and older Frontline Essential Workers". Ask yourself if your AP is either of these? and you got your answer. Some people do actually need this vaccine to do their job, it is clear that is not the case for APs.

I didn’t “encourage” anything but I’m glad for her if she can get it. Every person who gets it makes it a little safer for everyone else.

What agency is this? we didn't get anything about vaccine from our agency.

Everyone wants the vaccine but does that makes it ok to skip the line? Healthy 20 something people who are not exposed to COVID through their work shouldn't be getting vaccine before teachers, daycare workers and older people. I have a lot of older people in my neighborhood having a hard time getting a vaccine appointment while you 20 something healthy au pair is getting the vaccine so she can go party. Not cool.

She’s not skipping the line, if au pairs are allowed to get it under phase 1b. She’s not going to party, she psychologically is terrified of getting covid and has been extremely cautious. Pretty much all of the older people we know and our kids’ teachers have all gotten their first dose already, and I’ve been actively assisted elderly neighbors with making appointments and she’s volunteered to drive them to them, so we are doing our part to help. My kids are in school so our whole family is at risk of being exposed through them.

If your au pair can get an appointment and the vaccine that’s a loophole. I assume you live in ward 1, 2 or 3. This probably explains why older people in my ward can’t find appointments. They don’t have the extra resources to have 3 people checking for appointments at the same time. I guess you want to make your au pair happy which is nice but please at other HFs, don’t encourage your au pairs to get appointments because they can. They are young, healthy, are supposed to be social distancing like everyone else, thus should get it when everyone else does.

Your thinking is funny. I assume you want young people to follow rules, wear masks and don’t socialize but they don’t have right to get the vaccine? I see only one selfish person rn.. We encourage all au pairs to get a vaccine so they can finally enjoy some time in US and do things they came here for

Of course you decided to skip my point on purpose. I never said young people should not get the vaccine, I said they shouldn't get it BEFORE the elderlies, teachers, daycare workers, immunocompromised people etc. But I am pretty sure you get that but you don't care because you want your au pair to get the vaccine now so she can be happy and go party without endangering your family. Talking about selfishness...

This is so wrong.

I will not encourage my AP to get the vaccine at this stage. We are keeping safe, and I would much rather have the people working on the frontline, the elderly, the immuncompromised, and the essential workers, including teachers and nannies get it first. If agencies are encouraging APs to get vaccines now then shame on the. Agencies can't have it both ways. When you try to get them to enforce COVID rules and expectations more carefully with APs they will throw "it all depends on individual families" in your face. They won't pay for COVID tests. yet, they are promoting APs to get vaccinated?

I’m not in the dc area so no, my au pair isn’t taking a vaccine away from your neighbors.

Why does your AP need a COVID vaccine before the general population? to go party and travel with her friends? Childcare workers are getting vaccines first so that daycares and schools can reopen. If your AP is still here that means you still have childcare and her getting the vaccine now is just selfish (for both of you). It is not because there is a loophole in the system and you can do it that you should do it.

Why should APs be vaccinated before the general population? They are not working in a daycare with many kids but for one family and on top of that they will be leaving soon (offically). It doesn't make sense to me and I have an AP. I would rather my kids who are going to attend crowded schools get vaccinated before our AP. This doesn't make any sense tbh.

DON'T TRY TO CUT THE LINE.

Super sketchy. Ap is in Maryland with ccap I assume

I thought CCAP moved to a virtual training school. I assumed all other agencies did the same.

They did - they still have the opportunity to meet APs going to their area virtually
