Disagree. Anyone who lives here has as much risk of contracting or spreading the virus as anyone else. I don’t care about their citizenship status. I just want as many shots in as many arms as possible.
And that can be done - once citizens have theirs.
Creepy (and immoral).
Neither. You give up your vaccine if you feel so strongly that non-citizens should get it before citizens.
Super creepy and immoral. I’m waiting in line for a vaccine - but I absolutely think essential workers who are not citizens should get it before you. See, it’s not hard to be a bottom-feeder. Try it!
Except APs are no more essential workers than parents. You really need to check your wealth privilege before lecturing to others.

I disagree that vaccines should be restricted to citizens. vaccine nationalism will get us nowhere. I do have an issue with anyone fudging their eligibility criteria (e.g. health care providers who are no longer practicing getting vaccinated first, au pairs who already announced they are quitting and getting vaccinated in early February as a childcare provider).

My AP got her shots before I did, and I have a medical condition that qualifies me for it. I'm happy about it. This past year has been really, really cruddy for APs. We as parents struggle too, but at least we have our family. APs are alone in a foreign country with no family. Their friends are their world. At least now I can rest a bit easier at night knowing our AP is vaccinated.
Yep. Our AP is getting her shot later today. We hope to have ours by summer. Our housekeeper who has been here on TPS for 20+ years got hers. All the nannies at the park (some undocumented, some also on TPS) have got theirs. Typing vaccines to nationality is pretty fascist-adjacent. If our AP were in her home country, she would have had the vaccine last Fall. She stayed here and risked her health in doing so. Very thankful.

3 of our 6 aps (5 from the same European country) have been POC. I don’t choose au pairs based on their race, I look for the best fit for our family.

You realize there are POC au pairs from those countries right?
Yup, and you do realize that most of these HFs don't pick the POC candidates, right?
