Yes, but the Covid jab won't be required several times a day for the rest of the person's life, which would be wholly impractical for medics to deliver, and it's therefore a lot more efficient to self-administer.
Point is that for a one-off (or small number) of Covid jabs, it's presumably more efficent for the medics just to stick it in rather than spending their time giving individual tuition.
And distributing the vaccines, dealing with those who couldn't/won't self-administer them anyway all takes up rescources, not to mention the no doubt many self-administered vaccines that would go wrong and require even more labour-intensive interventions.
I'm sure the health professionals and logistical experts will have considered this option, and immediately dismissed it
