The original intent was good.
- Get the medical staff first as they have a high exposure rate and have to get in close proximity to others increasing the possibility of transmission to new people.
- Deaths are almost exclusively in the 65+ range, so hitting old folks homes first would impact those most likely to die.
In practice, it was a complicated to document who these people were and how to get it out to them. The latest recommendation is anyone over 65 or under 65 with a serious co-morbidity. Realistically, it will take a week or two to get the states onto the new plan and then it will take time to actually vaccinate everyone over 65.
But we are already up around 1mil per day vaccinated, so end of March, I would expect the majority of high risk/old folks who want the vaccine will have the vaccine. At that point, we should see the death/hospitalizations tail off rapidly.
