The next group of people in the United States to be vaccinated against the new crown may be essential front-line industrial workers and the elderly – the United States.

According to foreign media The Verge,An independent committee from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that essential industry front-line personnel and people age 75 and older should receive the COVID-19 vaccine at the next wave of immunizations.This group includes approximately 49 million people.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) stated that after these groups are vaccinated, those who should be vaccinated next should be those between 65 and 74 years old, those between 16 and 65 years with underlying health problems and others who are no longer being vaccinated. It is considered to be a necessary front line worker group in the industry.

Vaccine supplies will be limited for at least the next several months. The CDC predicts that there should be one vaccine dose for 20 million people in December, 30 million people in January, and 50 million people in February. “In this case, a tough decision has to be made,” said Kathleen Dooling, CDC medical officer, introducing the ACIP.

US national and local jurisdictions ultimately make the final decision on the timing and priority of vaccination, but the CDC’s recommendations help shape their approach. The first stage of vaccination is to go to health workers and residents of long-term care facilities. These groups began getting vaccinated last week and, so far, more than 500,000 people have been vaccinated in the United States.

ACIP balances two goals and makes recommendations for the second wave of vaccination: prevention of death and disease, and maintenance of social function. People over the age of 75 are at the highest risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19; Basic front-line workers (the committee said they include firefighters, teachers, supermarket workers, manufacturing workers, etc.) cannot work from home and often interact with the public. Put them at risk of exposure to the virus. Keeping these groups healthy will help keep critical services running.

“This approach reduces health inequality because racial and ethnic minorities are overrepresented in many basic industries,” said Dooling.

The third group the committee said should be vaccinated includes essential workers, such as those working in food services, construction, transportation, wastewater and the media. People ages 65 to 74 are also at high risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19, as well as younger groups with underlying conditions like heart disease or diabetes.

Although the CDC has a list of workplaces it deems necessary and front-line, different states establish these designations in different ways. Various interest groups are pressuring states to include their workers in the early vaccination group; For example, Uber requires states to prioritize their drivers.

It will be difficult to distribute vaccines to the priority groups of the second and third waves. For example, determining eligibility and access to basic workers (who may not be able to take time off or live in rural areas) is challenging. Committee members emphasized the importance of adequate funding for vaccine distribution. The funds are invested in vaccine development, leading to the vast majority of effective end products. Local health departments must make the same investment in vaccination programs. Jeffrey Duchin, a health official from King County, Washington, told the meeting that these vaccines are “Cadillacs.” “But your fuel tank is empty,” he said.

Recently, more than 200,000 people are diagnosed with COVID-19 in the United States every day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 17.8 million.
