Nannies need the vaccine more than Au Pairs (especially the bratty extension ones)

It doesn't matter if they are a "foreigner" or not. They are here on a visa, pay taxes and can spread it like everyone else. They saw a loophole and jumped through it.
Not a really a loop-hole. Are you arguing nannies and au pairs are NOT providing child-care? Nutty.
So are stay at home parents? Shouldn't they be on the list equal to APs, if not higher?
It is a loophole. Allowing teachers and child-care providers to get the shot was meant to help open schools and daycares. Au pairs are at home with one family and not at the same risk as a teacher in a classroom with 15 kids or a daycare provider working with kids so young they may not be required to wear masks. Theoretically, there is nearly little need for my au pair to leave the house. I do the food shopping so her risk level is low. The clerk at the grocery store or bus driver certainly should have had priority over a typical au pair. HOWEVER, I understand that the county/state didn't want to have to deal with exemptions and thus left it on the honor system. Just focus on the next month and hopefully more vaccines in the system.
Absolutely not a loophole. Nannies and APs are dealing with a population that cannot be vaccinated (children). Nannies and APs go to parks and outdoor activities where other children congregate - and children are not reliable mask wearers. States could have excluded nannies - and did not - because they realize that they are at risk or b/c nannies/APs are at higher risk b/c of factors associated with skin color/ethnic origin.

Hmmm. You think they should be higher - because they are more likely to be white and/or wealthy. Crazy-town.

This. Plus, the stress of having to worry about who my AP is seeing when she's off has gone away.

I guess the question is why you have such a lack of moral compass that you would want to deny an AP a vaccine. It's shocking you have actual children let alone an AP. Sick sick sick.
Here's the answer: We have many citizens who desperately need the vaccine who have not yet received it. A foreigner in this country should not receive the vaccine before them.

APs and nannies should not be prioritized for appointments. However, if the store pulls out 100 vaccines but only uses 95, I have less issue with them dispensing the remaining 5 to adults who aren’t currently eligible, as the alternative is to throw away the doses which can’t be put back into storage.
