CDC panel says frontline essential workers, people 75 years and older should get Covid vaccine next

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel voted Sunday to put "frontline essential workers" and people 75 years of age and older next in line to be eligible to receive a vaccine against Covid-19.

The full list of frontline essential workers also includes all educational staff, including daycare workers, food and agricultural workers, manufacturing workers, U.S. postal service employees, public transit workers and grocery store workers, according to ACIP's provided list. These workers "are in sectors essential to the functioning of society and are at substantially higher risk of exposure" to Covid, ACIP said.

The decision of what groups to prioritize over others is an excruciating one, many voting members of the committee said Sunday, but it is necessary to ensure that equity and the latest science guide states' plans. The committee was asked to thread the needle between competing values of the need to prioritize essential workers, who keep society functioning, and the need to protect society's most vulnerable members, the elderly.

"We are faced with the situation, at least in the short term, where we have a limited supply of vaccine available to us," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said Sunday to open the all-day meeting. "What that means is that there will be difficult choices about who gets that vaccine first."

Dr. Jeff Duchin, public health officer of Seattle and King County, Washington, emphasized the need to adequately fund local public health departments that are actually turning vaccines into vaccinations.

Let's look at this the man getting a shot dosent have covic all the politicians getting shots and everytime a healthy person gets a shot a person dies. Something is very wrong here.

Next? They should have gotten the first one. Instead? Government officials and the wealthy. Big surprise there.

But they held out until Marco Rubio and Lindsey graham had received theirs. Biden must overhaul the CDC

75 and older and people with a diagnosis like diabeties before workers imo. There are 27 million workers and maybe 3 million people who would actually die from the virus, they should be helped first!

That’s who should be getting it now not fucking politicians. Lol. What a damn world

YES! That INCLUDES ME & my GP told me to get COVID-19 Shot! I listen to him as he is the best medical doctor I know in my life.

Gee, how brilliant...

What for?

Why the hell does congress fall in here?

Was this not common sense

So then, Who got it first?

24k I am so euphoric now !! If btc goes above 50k this year i will give everyone that follows me 1000$ EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE
