Subject: RE: low risk groups


Faunsdale, AL
Who is segregating people who have been vaccinated and those that haven’t? That implies there’s areas for vaccinated people on a ship or in a hospital and areas for non vaccinated people. I don’t think anyone is willing to go that far, yet.

I think it’s more “you have been vaccinated, so you’re very low risk to be shedding the virus in this space where transmission is likely if you were shedding it and we really, really don’t want to have anyone get sick, so welcome aboard”

If you haven’t been vaccinated, you’re at a higher risk to be shedding the virus and/or be susceptable to it if someone else is shedding in this space. So, if we can exclude you, IN THE INTEREST OF CREATING PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN OUR ORGANIZATION, we will.

If we can’t exclude you, (Hospital etc) we will most likely have people getting sick and struggle to keep that to a minimum. People may keep using our services because they need us more than they’re afraid of contracting the virus here, but they will likely minimize their use. So we will work on our end by requiring our staff to be vaccinated, thereby decreasing the chance of transmission in our facility.

I think you’re right, the higher the vaccinated/immune % in a mixed population, the less likely there will be an outbreak. Everyone is somewhat protected, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, but there will likely still be disease transmission at some level. If you don’t want any chance of an outbreak in a setting, just require vaccination before entry.
