No decision has been made, but the consensus among many experts in the U.S. and globally is that health care workers should be first, said Sema Sgaier of the Surgo Foundation, a nonprofit group working on vaccine allocation issues. An expert panel advising the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also considering giving high priority to workers in essential industries, people with certain medical conditions and people age 65 and older.

Once a vaccine gets a green light from the Food and Drug Administration, the panel will look at clinical trial data on side effects and how people of various ages, ethnicities and health statuses responded. That will determine the panel’s recommendations to the CDC on how to prioritize shots.

I don’t care who gets it first. I’d recommend the “problem” nursing homes residents and employees get it first. We all know which ones they are. I will take it once it becomes available to me. I have zero tolerance for anti vaccine idiots.

Oddly though that is NOT the plan. The plan is, low paid EssentialWorkers, then nursing homes, then maybe nurses n drs. After they see if there are any side effects. Cant kill off the nurses n drs if it turns out certain groups have reactions

AMERICA, MUTE AND BOYCOTT MEDICAL AND MEDICAL LAW COMMERCIALS IN ENTERTAINMENT AND NEWS SOURCES. THEY'RE UNETHICAL.

After all the service they offered to the nation and considering they are constantly on the front line, I sincerely hope that they will be the first to be vaccinated.. They've been through a lot!

New York and California. They've been following CDC guidelines unlike all the other red states that re-opened very early. Second, New York and California are the financial capitals of America.

I stand in agreement with you. Get up and walk in the name of Jesus. He did it for me. He will do it for you. All He requires from us is to believe.

They WILL be first.

Good, then politicians, celebrities, MSM... I will wait 40 years😂😂😂😂😂

Not Me!!!

Good ideas, put on your own mask first.

Don't no but they need vaccination centers to keep all this crap straight!

Guessing insiders ie: trump family etc already have.

Then those who pick our food.

gotta love people volunteering others.. smh.. good to have priority tiers, with health care workers on top, but give them an option to decline becoming beta testers of 'accelerated' vaccines that was fast tracked to be approved. and the public can help by StayHomeStaySafe

..and most importantly who has access to the antibody plasma treatment other than the wealthy folks

Give it to GOP first. That way if they die or turn into zombies, we still have hcw

the rich, then the health care workers, then the nursing home, then the most at risk then general population, seems about right. Suits me as if there are issues hundreds of millions will be vaccinated before me. If there are any issues they will be known by then I hope

I’ll take my chances with COVID, but thanks

First

Maybe kids and young adults second. They are asymptomatic spreaders.

Spoilers: it'll be the military

That’s a no brainer! Healthcare, hospital staff, all first responders. Then elders and health-compromised. Then school staff. everybody and all at no cost to the individual!

I may give it a shot after 10 yrs of trials on Democrats

I'm going to wait and see what happens to the people who choose to take it. To iffy with the fact trump and his admistration had their hands on it and it being rushed. I am fine staying home and away from people. I decided not to go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving.She con't

Essential workers!

I'm going to wait and see the side effects first. It seems rushed and untested. Hopefully it works and is safe.

The Rich than the Rich and after...the Rich.

True. The health care worker's should be first.

I don't think it's wise to have health workers to be vaccinated first. If something goes wrong, we don't want the people who help save us from being crippled in any way.

Not me. I’m willing to donate my shot to someone in need, even if they’re in another country.

Just give me the goddamn shots!

This isn’t a given? They deserve it the most and also we need them?

Along with the elderly....

kimellis9 Yes, I have a daughter-in-law that is a doctor. They need the vaccine asap!

Bartenders

I'm good with others going first. I'll take my place in line once I see a picture of Dr. Fauci being injected with the vaccine.

The picture is creepy

I have a better idea. The first vaccines should be the politicians and the elite. They should go first and see how they react first. Please televised everything

Everyone should get vaccinated no matter what !! The body is one who have the last word due we here for short time every humans born will died one day !!!

The extra 'first' is for emphasis, I guess.

Are we giving them a choice in the matter? Perhaps the experts should ask before signing them up 🤷‍♂️

First to WEF/WHO/Davos, then let’s sit back 6 mos and wait for the side effects.

The Doctors and Nurses And health workers must get the vaccine on priority

I'm an old man and I want one but I can hold off. Many people I know are afraid of it. Concerns about issues that the vaccine might cause.

Narrator: But it was rich white people.

What happens if the vaccine has issues and the entire healthcare workforce is out sick? I’m a HCW and I won’t take it. Not just yet.

TeresaMWalker Of course

Health care worker have been exposed to the virus constantly for nearly a year. They are all most likely immune. Giving vaccines to the immune is pointless, exposing them to side affects with no really gain.

People of the world. I'm asking for help, my son Artem needs urgent heart surgery. He has a heart defect. There's less and less time left. If you can help, go to my profile information there. I beg you on your knees, help save your son

Yes!

I rather see the vaccine tested on all the Democrats in the House and Congress. They can start Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff etc....

Duh

horrible

I don't know, but people should be asked if they think the virus is real, if not, no shot for them!

Front line workers in our hospitals and nursing homes.

What about the risk? The vaccines have not been fully tested on a wide scale. Shouldn’t it be volunteers first?

James Comey & Robert Mueller

Not me😂over my dead body

NEVER taking one, anyway!

Sure. You got a knock them out of the way so there's no one to heal the sick later.

the first to receive the vaccines will be the politicians.

First?

I will be the first FYI

Rich people

Human animals, cosmic danger.

The Rich! What planet do you live on 😂

Get in line suckers. They keep this thing at -100f. It alters your DNA. I'll pass
