An advisory committee on Tuesday said the first COVID-19 vaccines should go to health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 13-1 in a meeting to decide what recommendations to give to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for how the first vaccines are distributed.
