The COVID-19 vaccine is finally here! Well, technically. The CDC has established a whole vaccine distribution system that includes multiple phases. Though this system does spark some concern among certain groups of people. In each phase, only certain groups of people are able to receive the vaccine. The first phase deals with first responders, healthcare workers, and people age 65 and older. As the vaccine rollout is moving at a snail's pace, we are still in the initial phase. The main thing surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine is accessibility. Many at-risk people do not qualify for the vaccine right now. People who live in poorer areas are also struggling to get access to it. Immunocompromised people are included in the third part of the rollout. The way this current vaccine rollout is going, who knows when other groups will be able to have access to it. With the new administration promising to boost vaccine doses, there seems to be a positive outlook.
