I'm not actually upset Grandma and Grandpa are getting vaccinated first. My state abandoned any pretense that "essential workers" might get prioritized in the vaccine rollout once hospital staff all got theirs and is now functioning on a purely age based rollout. Many of my coworkers and I are "essential" frontline workers and many of us are in our twenties or teens which means we will be some of the last people to get vaccinated, meanwhile a bunch of comfy PMC-types in their thirties and forties who get to work from home are going to get their shots months ahead of us.
It's bad enough that they've essentially condemned us to death for the economy this whole time, but now they're not even doing it for the economy.
I'm personally very relieved that my parents are vaccinated since I was really tired of worrying about them. I think there's a strong argument that frontline workers should get it first though. To be honest I think it's fine to be mad at any of this rollout which has been fucking awful. My asshole friend got his already because his daddy's company does manufacturing. He works in the office but still used the situation to get vaccinated. He's the fucking poster boy of white privilege tho so I'm not exactly surprised.
Nurses, doctors, MAs, etc. all got theirs first even before the elderly. I'm not upset about the elderly being prioritized though, because kind of like you, my remaining grandparents are in their seventies and eighties and it has been a relief for me knowing they got their first shot and will soon get their second. But like, I have a friend in his early thirties who has worked from home the entire pandemic (and possibly will continue to work from home after) who will now get his shot a month before me while I am getting pushed back at least two months. That's two more months where I've got to spend five days a week wondering if I'm gonna catch it today and how badly it will fuck my life up.
Ah shit I meant essential not frontline. But yeah I completely feel you. I have another friend who was talking about different ways younger, healthy people like us can get it early. It's basically my choice if I want to leave my home for the foreseeable future. I'm more than happy to just wait it out until people with actual risk get it. I don't understand people who feel differently. Sorry to hear you're getting pushed back. I swear this process is fucking dumb.
