- Healthcare workers started receiving the first doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine earlier this month.
- The CDC recommends that essential workers and adults over the age of 75 should get the vaccine next.
- Texas, however, is prioritizing adults over the age of 65 and anyone over the age of 16 who happens to have a serious medical condition.
It's no secret that the rollout of coronavirus vaccines in the U.S. is going to take some time. Aside from the fact that vaccine quantities are limited to begin with, the vaccine schedule requires two doses of the vaccine to be administered, which is to say a supply of even 20 million doses is only enough to vaccinate 10 million people.
