Of course Barry
If you've been previously exposed to the virus and or you are a Covid recovered patient, presumably you would be less likely to be considered as a vaccine candidate.
The issue with the vaccine is getting it out to the right population as quickly as possible, given limited supplies for likely most of 2021 and perhaps beyond.
I coud easily see the mandate being - vaccine for front line workers, and those > 60 years of age, provided they do not already have existing antibody protection from previoius exposure (i.e. immunity).
Precision medicine (and accurate diagnostics) means not wasting limited resources where they are not needed, while focusing limited resources where they are.
