.kavitapmd: If everyone waiting for the FDA's full approval gets vaccinated, we'll still be far short of herd immunity.
It's uncharted waters, but we might need vaccination requirements for households with children under 12, many of whom are struggling to stay in person at school but are forced into rolling quarantines, particularly in low-vaccination areas.
for patients who refuse vaccination and end up in the hospital with Covid-19. There is precedent for this. The Affordable Care Act allows for insurers to charge higher premiums for smokers than nonsmokers. But such a slippery slope could be detrimental if other populations begin to be carved out, not just unvaccinated people, but patients who are obese or have conditions deemed to be unacceptable by insurers or segments of society.
Shifting our country’s mindset from individual exceptionalism to a communal one will be difficult; transparency and reporting efforts will be necessary to hold ourselves accountable. Any hospital that does not institute a mandate should be required to post the percentage of its staff that is vaccinated. Same for any school, grocery store, meatpacking plant or airline.
