The only reason for my sharing of that story is to show that even today there are people in the medical community that are die hard covidians and vaccines are so important. Everything is covid until I, using ChatGPT to diagnose myself, held their hand down the path to liver disease.
Back to my original inquiry. I'd like to know what the safety nets, policies, and procedures are to ensure that some psychopath isn't just "doing God's work" to vaccinate the unbelievers.
From what I can gather from posts here the only thing stopping them is that if they scan it in it's getting added to my bill. So, I guess they could as long as they don't scan it in? I know that doesn't make sense for a hospital that is trying to make money, but for individual staff that is a true believer, they're just doing the world a favor in stopping the spread.
Edit: directed at both you and DrWood.
I'm not a medical professional but I did stay in the room in the ER where there was some beeping machine that people were constantly using and talking about medicines while using. I believe that it was a machine that allows a nurse to get medicines for his patients but requires the nurse to enter his own passcode and maybe the patient's identifier before the medicine is physically released to the nurse to take to the patient. The nurse would then scan the medicine just before administering it to the patient. This would track possession of the dose of medication from the hospital's stores through the nurse's hands to the patient's body. Red flags would go up if a medication was released to a nurse but never scanned as being administered to a patient.
Vaccinations would probably be held under the same type of security.
I'm thinking that the covid true believer would either have to find a different source of covid vaccines than the hospital controlled stock or would have a work-around for the accounting protocols to get the vaccine. Maybe through a like-minded acquaintance or co-worker? Exploiting a malfunctioning lock? Sticky fingers at a drive-thru covid vaccination site? Hell, this true believer could be dumb enough to get some fake 'corvid vacxinee' off of the internet somewhere. Your guess is as good as mine as to how somebody could steal drugs.
Now, for this true believer to administer it. That's the easy part for a nurse and not so easy for a doctor. For my gallbladder surgery stay, I NEVER asked to see what was being injected into my IV as I was in too much pain to see straight and how would I know what was in the syringe? I know I slept through some blood draws. I figure you could have stabbed me with a fork and I wouldn't remember it. Doctors would have a harder time as they aren't in the patient's room as often, but it could still be done. It would be as simple as the doctor saying that he had picked up your pain medicine dose to help the nurse out as he injected something into you.
(Aside, I do remember faintly a doctor or a nurse injecting something into the skin around the incisions where I had a lot of bruising. Not sure if the injection caused the bruising or if the bruising called for the injection. I was REALLY out of it. And no, I don't think it was a stealth covid vax.)
I believe that there are true believers out there wanting to give covert covid vaccinations but I also believe that their numbers are incredibly tiny. And the number of successful true believers would be minuscule. It's just too much work to get the vaccine to do this. I also believe that any medical professional getting caught doing this or just advocating doing this would be pulled up very sharply by supervisors and lawyer types or fired outright because of liability reasons or reputation reasons.
