@balletmaus, the entire point is that society will never agree on who is more or less deserving. I have my opinions on who is more deserving, and I've stated them. Public policy should ignore my opinion and everyone's opinions We should vaccinate as quickly as possible, in rough order of risk of death, not worrying about who is a snowbird, an illegal immigrant, etc. When you start excluding one group, it opens up the door for excluding other groups. Every shot in the arm has a community benefit, no matter who receives it. If vaccine tourism becomes a genuine problem, I'll change my tune.
On a related note, some parts of Europe (notably France) have been slowed down by inefficient process flows -- e.g., 45 pages of disclosure. Hopefully it's already being done in most places, but we need to come up with "assembly line" processes - preferably digital ones - that keep people injecting all day long. Pre-register online, read and accept any disclosures online, e-signature; person doing any required consultation separate from person injecting; etc.
