美国已经着手分配新冠疫苗,但在接种顺位的排序上却引起争议,因为已经有3州把吸烟者排在接种优先顺位。
《福斯新闻》报导,宾州卫生部门的第一阶段疫苗分配计划中,包括16至64岁高风险医疗状况族群以及吸烟者,吸烟者的顺位甚至高于教育工作者、现场应急人员、邮政工作者,卫生部门发言人表示,排序是依据疾控中心的建议,但居民对此感到震惊。
‘Cheap shot’ criticism of COVID vaccines for 2M smokers before other groups is ‘false narrative,’ Murphy sayshttps://t.co/rbSwvxmiCwEducators who are remote can wait; those in person are essential workers needing it now; smokers are at great risk & deserve to live. #RonaBeGone

除了宾州之外,新泽西州、密西西比州也都把吸烟者放在疫苗接种的优先顺位。
