I agree that health care professionals should be a priority because of how likely they would be to be exposed, but also because most of them would understand that the effectiveness at that point wasn't verified and the even in the best of circumstances, vaccines aren't a guarantee of anything. They would not likely change their behavior just because they were vaccinated.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people assume they completely protected after being vaccinated, which I think in the wrong circumstances (i.e., a vaccine not fully tested), could be dangerous and therefore should be reserved for priority cases.
