Was I wrong? (re: not cool dealing with healthcare workers without vaccine) [View all]

[consider_this]

I don't think so, but just looking for a check from folks here.

I have avoided dentists, docs, opticians, etc - anyone who would be in close contact with me (and a stream of prior others) during this pandemic. However, now that I have my vax doses and the 2 wk waiting period, I am doing all these appointments.

So today - I have an 8am (first appt. of the day, intentionally) dental appt. The lovely and nice hygienist greets me and I ask - 'so, you have your shots?". She says 'no'.
I am very taken aback by this, but continue with her discussing plans for x-rays, asking the usual questions etc. Then I ask 'gee, I thought all healthcare folks were able to have had their shots already.'
She says 'well, I chose not to.' She is behind me now and I am thinking 'WTF?!" then she says - "is that making you uncomfortable?" - Me: 'Sorry, but yeah, I am kinda uncomfortable'.
Anyway she decides to get the doc, who comes in and says, he will do the cleaning etc - we just have to reschedule. It was all friendly and good, etc, but this was all just weird to me. As we were walking out to the front desk, I told her - 'hey, no offense to you or anything, but I have waited all this time (last 1.5 yr) because I want to avoid risks, and not even being with my grandkids - so you are getting the same distancing as them. this is not political or anything, I just don't want to take chances, especially after being so careful for so long.'
Once we get out to the desk to reschedule, they say, "yes, the dentist himself will do it!" - but I ask - "that is great, but if there is a hygienist that has their shots that is fine with me too." "We don't have any".

So what in the the heck?! - is it weird that this practice has not even one hygienist that has shots??! and was I bad to stand my ground and walk out?

I will say, I do not have 100% confidence in the shot for my own protection, and certainly not for my ability to spread to others - so I don't want to be in a situation to catch something I could spread to others I love or to get sick either.

Anyone else do something like this or am I Covid PTSD?
