“#Elderly, frontline workers should get COVID-19 vaccine: CDC<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Frontline essential workers and people\u00a0age 75\u00a0and older should be next in line for the COVID-19 vaccine, a panel of medical experts advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in favor of the recommendation, which will go to the CDC director for final app<\/a>roval.<\/p>\n

The group of essential\u00a0workers next in line for the vaccine includes 30 million people, such as firefighters, police officers, teachers and grocery-store employees, as well as corrections officers and food and agriculture, manufacturing, US Postal Service and public transit workers.<\/p>\n

The committee also voted that next, behind those groups, should be: other essential workers; people ages 65 to 74 and those between 16 and 64 who have certain medical conditions that put them at high-risk for serious illness if they become infected with the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

About 556,000 Americans have been vaccinated since the nation\u2019s immunizations efforts began last week,\u00a0the CDC said.<\/p>\n

The shots \u2014 from Pfizer\/BioNTech\u00a0\u2014 went first to healthcare workers and nursing home residents\u00a0based on the advice\u00a0of the same advisory panel.\u00a0A vaccine\u00a0from Moderna was approved Friday\u00a0and started being shipped out Sunday.<\/p>\n

Still, despite what the CDC recommends, there will be differences in how each state administers the vaccine, since various local health departments may have different ideas about who should be at the front of the line.<\/p>\n

In New York, the first wave of vaccines began going to healthcare workers last week, with nursing-home residents set to start receiving the shots Monday.<\/p>\n

First responders, teachers and other essential frontline workers who regularly interact with the public are part of New York\u2019s phase 2, according to a\u00a0draft of the state\u2019s vaccine administration plan released in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next will be those over age 65 and people who are at high risk of serious illness.\u00a0All other essential workers will be in phase 4, with everyone else relegated to phase 5.<\/p>\n

The first Moderna vaccines are\u00a0expected to be administered Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly 8 million overall anti-coronavirus doses will be delivered Monday, about 5.9 million from Moderna and 2 million of the vaccine from Pfizer, said Dr. Moncef Slaoui,\u00a0chief adviser to the Trump administration\u2019s Operation Warp Speed initiative on\u00a0CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both vaccines require two doses several weeks apart. The second dose must be from the same company as the first.<\/p>\n
