The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has accepted an advisory committee's recommendation for
vaccine prioritization.
In what's being called 'Phase 1B' -
adults ages 75 and older and front-line workers have priority to get vaccines
next.
The
committee also approved 'Phase 1C' which gives priority to adults ages 65 to 75, people
with high-risk medical conditions, and other essential workers.
Those workers include people
in education, food, transportation, public safety, and waste-water industries.
