COVID-19: Guidance for Prioritizing Health Care Workers for COVID-19 Vaccination
Key Messages:
- Demand for COVID-19 vaccine supply will initially exceed available supply; prioritization must be set among the health care workers
- A stepwise approach to health care worker prioritization will be used, focusing first on sectors and settings, then on level of community risk, and lastly on individual risk
- Sectors and settings are prioritized based on risk of exposure and patient populations served
- An ethics and equality lens should be applied to all prioritization decision-making
