I see so many young people posting online that they received their covid vaccine shot. Most of these people are not in healthcare and many even work at home. Just wondering how these people seem to be jumping to the front of the line when people like my parents are having a hard time getting their shot.

People cancel their appointments and others jump in so the vaccines arent wasted.

Technically, you could say that anyone who doesn't work from home is a front line worker. If you are not working from home, you are likely in contact with a lot of people each day. I thought the vaccine distribution was supposed to prioritize certain groups first but it seems like that isn't the case. I don't expect to receive it until early summer.

if you deal directly with people in a business/job that is essential then you're considered a front line worker. for instance, a cashier at a grocery store. if you're an office worker, even if you still come into the office, its not considered a front line position. theoretically it could be considered an essential position though, and i think those are able to get the vaccine too.

This somewhat.

But probably mostly money.

does your job involve dealing directly with a large number of random people each day? is it a job that would leave other people in peril if it was hindered? if so then you are a front line worker...
