Inside Higher Ed is reporting that frontline health care employees will be the first priority for vaccination against the coronavirus according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. However, it also notes that states have the final say with regard to priorities. Still, it is highly likely that UC Health employees will be among the first priority.
The definition of health care workers includes only those having potential contact with patients or infectious materials. The vaccine - which won't be officially approved until December 10 will be the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
