A CDC panel will meet next week to decide who should get the COVID-19 vaccine first, according to a report Monday.
While health care and essential workers and vulnerable groups such as the elderly will be at the front of the line to get any approved vaccine, the panel will decide what order they go in, CNN said.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be meeting for five hours next Monday to make that determination, the site said.
Panel member Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University told CNN that front-line workers are expected to win the first shot of any vaccine.
“Health care workers are baked in — that’s the first thing to happen, no doubt about that,” he said.
After that, the debate will center on who are “essential” workers, from cops to supermarket employees, and how to rate vulnerable populations, the doctor said.
“There have been huge ethical discussions about this,” Schaffner told the site.
Dr Lock downs said it would be 2 years before we got vaccine and mask do nothing. Ridiculous to wear a mask. Lock downs only to slow the spread for two weeks and not to over run hospitals. Pretty much everything he said was BS and still is. His side kick Dr death is just as stupid. Wear a scare around face thats all you need for two weeks. Stay away from grandkids for two weeks. 8 months later still BS. China joe will fix it
I say politicians, their kids, and even all the CDC and family take it first…. I’m NOT
Politicians and lobbyists.
