Can Mom Be First In Line for the Vaccine?
QUESTION: "My 86-year-old mother is a bit of a news junkie. She is following the development of a vaccine for COVID very closely and wants to be the first in line when it’s available. She believes that anyone over 65 will be the highest priority, and she intends to get her shot ASAP. Mom is very anxious to resume her usual activities, and we frankly do not blame her. We children have more of a wait-and-see approach. This whole warp speed thing is nice, but we do not want mom to be the front line, if you know what I mean. Please weigh in on vaccinations and how quickly we can resume normal routines."
