Who will first get the coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available? An expert panel weighs in:
Who will get the coronavirus vaccine as soon as it becomes available is starting to come into focus. A report released Friday breaks the U.S. population into four groups and assigns each a place in line.
The United States already is making millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine before it's even known which candidate will end up working. Even so, rationing at the beginning will be needed because it will take time to get shipping and delivery systems up and running smoothly. Ultimately the decision of how coronavirus vaccine will be allocated rests on CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, whose guidelines will be informed in part by Friday’s report. As soon as the Food and Drug Administration authorizes a new vaccine, the advisory committee offers guidelines on how it should be distributed, to whom and when.
This phase also includes people 65 and older living in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, homeless shelters, group homes, prisons or jails.
