Abstract
Participants made decisions regarding access to limited hospital treatments for different patients (e.g., COVID/non-COVID; immunized/not-immunized). When resources for COVID-related care are limited, participants gave preferential treatment to an immunized patient, although they made allowances if lack of immunization was due to a lack of access to health-care.
