Because the supply of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States is currently limited CDC is providing recommendations to federal state and local governments about who should be vaccinated first. CDCs recommendations are based on those of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ACIP an independent panel of medical and public health experts. Each state has its own plan for deciding which groups of people will be vaccinated first. You can contact your state health department for more information on its plan for COVID-19 vaccination. The goal is for everyone to be able easily to get a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as large quantities of vaccine are available. As the vaccine supply increases more groups will be added to receive vaccination.
