Effective coronavirus vaccines are ready to be distributed, waiting for an emergency authorization from the US Administration of Food and Drugs - it's "the light at the end of the tunnel", declaresDr. Anthony Fauci, the main infectious infectious expert of the nation. But the question remains: who gets a first one? Before the decision is made, the vaccinated councilors of the US centers for the fight against the disease and prevention (CDC) had to vote and submit their opinion to the administration of food and drugs (the FDA). This happened today and the results are in, via a 13-1 vote:Those in long-term care facilities and health staff should first obtain the vaccine, indicates the CDC. Read it to see what it means for you and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Without signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Residents of the long-term care facility and health personnel should first obtain the vaccine, the CDC recommends

"Residents of long-term care facilities are defined as adults who reside in facilities offering a variety of services, including medical and personal care, people who are unable to live independently," said CDC. "Health care staff is defined as paid and unpaid persons in health care facilities that have the potential for direct or indirect exposure or infectious materials."

The decision echoes what Dr. Faisci predicts all.

Fuci had already saidMSNBCThis "when we arrive in December, we can have doses available for those judged at the highest priority." In another interview with PBS, Fauci revealed that these "higher priority groups" would be determined "according to the recommendation of the CDC".

"I think health care workers will be among those," said Dr. FaCi, when Chuck Todd onMeet the presssaid he presumed that they would be in the polar position. "I do not know exactly what is the precise final decision. Certainly, health workers will be there. There will be others. I'll get there, meet with the CDC and make that kind of decisions," he said. "But if you look at the number of health workers, you will obviously have to do it classified. I mean, we do not have enough vaccines right now in the first, you know, in the last week or two or three of December to get everyone who needs it. And that's why, what's going on is that a certain amount of vaccine is shipped locally in the United States. And then the final decision of how to properly be left in the United States with strong recommendations from the CDC. "

Todd then asked questions about specific groups of people. When people in a principal institution or a retirement home do the vaccine? "Once again, I do not want to go to the advisory committee, but I can tell you what will probably happen," said Fuci. "You know, if you look at the number of people who are called official nurses, about 1.5 million people. If you look at the people who are the staff, that the staff, these official retirement homes. It's about 1.5 million get the different priorities. "
