An advisory panel on Sunday voted to recommend that people 75 and older, and essential workers like firefighters, teachers, and grocery store workers should be the next in line to receive the vaccine for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the coronavirus.
Approximately 556,000 Americans have already received the vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CCP virus vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech was the first to be distributed. A vaccine developed by Moderna Inc. began shipping on Dec. 20.
