A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel on Sunday recommended that frontline essential workers and persons 75 years and older should be next in line to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

About 200 million people including non-frontline workers like those in media, finance, energy and IT & communication industries, persons in the 65-74 age group, and those aged 16-64 years with high-risk conditions should be in the ensuing round, the panel recommended. Citing the limited availability of the doses, the work group broke essential workers down into frontline and non-frontline workers.

While vaccine supplies have thus far been limited, federal authorities have said that production will ramp up in the coming months. Officials for U.S. Operation Warp Speed have said that they will distribute enough doses for 100 million Americans to be vaccinated by the end of February.

I went from being broke, homeless, and suicidal, to making $25k per month. My message to you is DO NOT GIVE UP! Even when all seems impossible. I STILL work a regular job on top of my investment because I’m scared to death to be homeless again. All thanks to 🙏 lisaMakT

Grocery store workers and all those with similar positions should get the vaccine free

How did Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio get to the head of the line for the COVID Vaccine?
