These Americans Will Get a Vaccine First

In hypothetical plan, CDC lays out guidelines on distribution, to start as early as next month

Public health officials across the country have been told to prepare to distribute a coronavirus vaccine as soon as late October—though the CDC says this is just a hypothetical. In documents sent to health authorities in all states and territories, as well as five major cities (New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, and San Antonio), the CDC lays out the requirements for shipping, mixing, storing, and administering two vaccine candidates that might become available this fall. They're to be given first to health care professionals, residents and staff of long-term care facilities, essential workers, and national security employees, in two doses a few weeks apart, per CNN and the New York Times.
