Frontline essential workers and people over the age of 75 should be next in line to receive a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel said on Sunday.
CDC s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 13 to 1 recommending 30 million frontline essential workers and the said age group.
In all, around 51 million people will get the next round of vaccines, said a Reuters report.
Some of the essential workers included in the vaccine recommendation are first responders, teachers and grocery workers.
