I don't envy those making the decisions on prioritizing citizens. There can't possibly be 100% agreement on who "needs it more." Give them some space, even if they don't see things exactly as you do. Personally, I want this thing and I'm going to be assertive in getting mine. But I will wait my turn, whether I agree with the pecking order or not.
I do feel the need to add to the discussion on inoculating prisoners. To me, the overwhelming argument is that, when you take someone prisoner, you are taking responsibility for their well-being. It's just inhumane to cram them together and allow a disease to spread among them, if there's nothing they can do to protect themselves.
There are other arguments, for and against. But to me it comes down to human decency. The bill of rights protects every citizen from cruel and unusual punishment.
