The residents who didn't get it: those working 80+ hrs/week in the emergency room, in the ICU, intubating patients, operating on patients, etc etc etc
Some people I know of who got it instead: Radiologists who primarily work from home. Administrative roles with relatively low (or no) patient interaction.
Not saying those people shouldn't get vaccinated -- just that if you were asked to come up with a priority list, it wouldn't be this.
Disclosure: am a physician at Stanford.

- doctoring 6y agoThey are trying. For what its worth, faculty across multiple departments (including those radiologists) stepped up and declined their scheduled vaccine appointments until residents get vaccinated first. It's a big place made up of mostly smart (and good) people. A lot of outrage is at the administration's poor planning, failure to respond quickly the problem, and subsequent excuse-making.
