The third round of shots should go to people ages 65 to 74, people ages 16 to 64 with high-risk medical conditions, and any other essential workers that haven't been vaccinated yet, the CDC recommended.People ages 75 and older and frontline essential workers should be next in line to receive coronavirus vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended at a Sunday meeting.

Frontline essential workers, meanwhile, are both necessary to a functioning society and face an increased risk of exposure to the coronavirus due to the public-facing nature of their work. Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, was the first hospital to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine in the US.These remaining essential workers would include those in transportation, food service, construction, finance, information technology and communication, energy, media, law, engineering, and water and waste management.
