They’ll be getting it once the other is approved, this is why they’re getting it first:

Only NHS staff will be inoculated at first, with care home residents and vulnerable over-80s having to wait.

It comes as experts believe the Pfizer vaccine should be moved no more than four times because it risks becoming ineffective - making it difficult to transport to care homes.

By the time it reaches UK hospitals, it will have been moved twice - from the Pfizer production plant in Belgium to storage hubs in Britain and from there, to hospitals.
I think sometimes we have to accept that logistic and medical experts know more than us.

And I think a few NHS workers have died of covid recently, PPE doesn’t make you immune to it.
