Health care workers and nursing home residents will be the first in the US to get Covid-19 vaccines, a high powered government panel announced late Tuesday. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) panel voted 13-1 to recommend these two groups get priority while doses are in short supply in the early weeks. Burden of disease figured prominently in the decision to bring nursing home residents into the ambit early.
