A doctor has provided 1 answer
CDC : The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has historically made decisions on who is first to be immunized and whom the vaccine works best for, USA Today reported. The ACIP issues guidelines on whom vaccines should be distributed to, and how and when they get it. REF: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242818331.html
