Who's next in line to receive a coronavirus vaccine?

 

• As trucks began delivering Moderna's (NASDAQ:MRNA) shot to health departments, hospitals and other vaccination sites on Sunday, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel voted on the next groups to receive inoculations.
• Vaccination is already underway in the U.S. - via the Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) jab - for the so-called phase 1a group, which includes at least 24M healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents.
• The 1b group, estimated to cover about 49M people, or nearly 15% of Americans, would encompass "frontline essential workers" (i.e. teachers, police and firefighters, grocery workers) and people 75 years of age.
• Phase 1c will broaden eligibility to another 129M people, including persons between the ages of 65 and 74, people between the ages of 16 and 64 who have high-risk underlying conditions and remaining "essential workers."
• If accepted by the CDC director, the committee's recommendations will set federal guidance, though state officials are charged with the final say on distribution.
