"Sex workers get priority vaccine access in Vancouver"

[lenny]

"Everyone’s version of essential workers is different when it comes to vaccinating the population. Some think health workers should be at the front of the line, others think teachers.

In Vancouver, sex workers are now getting priority treatment.

The PACE Society, an organization in the city’s Downtown Eastside which “provides support, advocacy, and education by, with, and for current and former sex workers of all genders,” is hosting a vaccination clinic for sex workers Thursday.

“Enter through the alley,” the poster says.

The clinic is for a first shot only and is being presented as a way to “protect yourself and those around you!”

It was just days ago that police and other frontline responders in Surrey, a COVID hotspot in the Lower Mainland, were given their first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I am pleased to advise you that we have received approval from the province and Fraser Health for all Surrey detachment staff (all categories of members and municipal employees) to receive vaccines on a priority basis,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards wrote in a memo to staff.

Like many other provinces, British Columbia has been allocating vaccine doses primarily through age ranges with some occupations getting earlier access. Right now, with some exceptions, vaccination appointments for the general public are open to those 50 years of age and older, with those over 40 able to book appointments starting next week.

So far, more than one million residents have received a COVID-19 vaccination.

I'm positively surprised that there isn't much backlash about this.

Why would anyone in this room be outraged by this? This isn't a Christian Mingle dating forum.

The backlash may come if it was identified as an essential service. The government knows it's an industry that they cannot control with lockdowns.

Since the industry cannot be shut down like restaurants, logic dictates they need to be vaccinated asap or risk a faster spread.

I wasn't talking about this room in particular (obviously), but in general. There's a lot of armchair epidemiologists and people that don't have a positive image of sex workers.

There are many people who are still waiting to get their first shot and there are seniors who have only received only one shot todate. There are those have have just received their initial vaccination and must also wait for their second shot which I understand can now be extended to as long as 16 weeks assuming current vaccine supply schedule is not further delayed or disrupted in order to optimize current vaccine roll out to the general population. This was to try to get as many adults vaccinated with at least one doseage before the end of June.

I have noticed many sps in their ads indicate they are fully vaccinated which I would understand to mean they have already received two doses. How is this possible, just asking the question ?

I haven’t noticed any SPs, YVR based that is, claiming to be fully vaccinated. If you’re talking about ladies from the USA, that’s a different story. Closer to home though, some SPs with day jobs in healthcare or designated essential visitors of care homes or those with ties to remote communities could be fully vaccinated at this point.

You gotta read ads on leolist to have a better view on this one . A few advertise as vaccinated . Good for them though .

Only found one claiming to be fully vaccinated. Some established locals, again in YVR, mention “vaccinated”or “first dose.” And yeah good for them and everyone.

Vaccinated -> one shot.
Fully vaccinated -> two shots.

If you go to the ad section on Perb as an example and search vaccinated, you‘ll find at least two sps that say they are fully vaccinated, I’ve noticed others have referenced the same elsewhere

I was able to chase down a dose and got my first shot this week!! I am just waiting a couple weeks for my body to build antibodies and can't wait to get back at it Surrey has lowered the age to 30+ in some areas.

Astrazeneca for 30+ everywhere in BC (where they still have doses): https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/vaccine/pharmacy

Leolist is a black hole of deceit.
