You decide: If you work in an exposed healthcare job like ER triage, clinic screening, etc you are in front line jobs of some risk. The vaccines provide some but not 100% protection against these diseases. You are not in the target group that got the vaccines through the FDA approval process so you may find it is not covered by insurance. It can be pricey.
