LETTER: Line jumpers taking vaccines at the expense of Las Vegas seniors

A 20-year-old family member working as a nonessential part-time worker in the court system received the vaccine a few weeks ago before my 85-year-old mother. If you have connections with local government, you move to the front of the line.
