CDC Panel Recommends Which Groups Should Get Coronavirus Vaccines First

An independent panel of vaccine experts advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has passed along its recommendations regarding who in the U.S. should receive the first available supplies of coronavirus vaccines once they are approved for use. Not surprisingly, the panel -- officially named the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices -- is advising that front-line healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities be at the head of the line to be inoculated. Panel members voted 13-1 in favor of the recommendations.
