"So "healthcare workers" were the priority - but this meant hospital sysadmins and medical billing office workers were being jabbed before transit or supermarket workers."

I'd not want to be the one making decisions on vaccine priorities, but I can see the sense and logic behind vaccinating all healthcare workers. The front line can't operate properly without the back office staff also being at work doing their jobs too. As an example of hard choices, would you have put transit workers or supermarket workers next? Are the delivery lorry drivers delivering to supermarkets transit or supermarket? Or does "transit" mean buses and trains, considering almost no one was travelling in the early stages, before a vaccine was even available.

The option go with all health workers first and then down by age group is probably the best option without it all getting overly bureaucratic and possibly leading to arguments or even legal challenges over who's turn it is next.
