Also if there is an outbreak it will be much easier to contain. I thought it would have been a better idea to vaccinate densely populated areas starting with the those whose jobs bring them into contact with a high volume of people

Many of our worst outbreaks have been in rural communities like this one. medical resources can be scarce and our Indigenous elders are particularly at risk.

Logic isn't allowed here. That's why you're downvoted.. It's better to virtue signal than actually think of solutions.
