Government owned and Medicaid-based Nursing Homes will get the CoronaFlu vaccine first.
After nursing home staff and patients, doses could then go to New York’s next priority. Those are congregate care facilities and then some of the roughly 600,000 health care workers who treat patients in emergency rooms and intensive care units.
What are the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine? Are there long-term effects? Most people who get a COVID-19 vaccine will endure side effects, particularly after a second dose. All three candidate vaccines reported mild or moderate side effects, mostly pain at the injection site, fatigue, and aching muscles and joints for a day or two. "A sore arm and feeling crummy for a day or two is a lot better than COVID," said Dr. William Schaffner, professor of health policy and of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. If someone is going to have a bad reaction to a vaccine, it is likely to occur in the first six weeks after vaccination, according to medical experts. But experts still don’t know the long-term effects of the vaccines and won’t know until after the trials are completed and researchers monitor participants in the real world for years after.
Once you get vaccinated, can you still get sick? Can you still transmit the virus to other people? Yes, it is possible that you could still get sick or transmit the virus to someone else, even after having received the vaccine, according to experts. "The vaccines are 90% effective. That means that there’s a small chance you could encounter the virus and still get sick," Schaffner said.

Exactly it's crazy because most vaccines the #1 "adverse reaction" is the person gets the full-blown case of what it's trying to "cure".
Looks that way....

Aren't people just tired of these tropes by now...
So... They're going to use blacks and Hispanics and elderly and disabled as trials....

That is not a risk with an mRNA vaccine. There are no viruses involved in this vaccine.
Health care workers are first on the list to get a COVID vaccine, but Williams said he’s hearing hospitals won’t require the vaccination.
“What I’ve heard, from the ones I’ve talked to, which is several, is that they will not be mandating like they do the flu shot, the COVID-19 vaccine,” Williams said.

Exactly! Amongst others....they are messing with our immune system rather than helping it as with more 'traditional' vaccines.
