<div dir="ltr">The CDC issued guidelines for vaccine distribution, which the states are more or less following, with some variation. Some of that variation is going to involve cold storage. The Pfizer vaccine is the one that needs extreme cold storage, and not all places are equipped to handle that, so the general idea is to ship it to those places that do have the required refrigeration. The Moderna vaccine needs only conventional freezers, so it is best suited to be shipped to places that are not equipped for the Pfizer vaccine. This link explains the CDC recommended phased rollout, which again, not all states will be following exactly, but your own state should have information on their own website.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html">https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>SO</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 4, 2021 at 9:34 AM <<a href="mailto:bobbyguilbeau@att.net">bobbyguilbeau@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_7479551522269964179WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">The progression varies a little from state to state.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">For Instance here in Louisiana the hospitals were first and they got the Phizer vaccine due to its ultra-low temp storage requirements, doctor and nurses and maint staff working directly with or in COVID wards were first then the emergency room staff and eventually all hospital staff<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The second shipment was for the Moderna vaccine and it was to EMS and Fire depts that run medical as well as some nursing homes, and above<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The third shipment more nursing home and group homes as well as 70+ year old’s, dialysis pts, dentist, outpatient hospitals, behavioral health personnel, and above<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The fourth shipment is supposed to be for prisons, police, judiciary and all above<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">It will vary from state to state slightly so you will need to check with your states Department of Hospitals or whatever agency is managing vaccinations<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> AT <<a href="mailto:at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Phil Auten<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 3, 2021 8:26 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">at@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AT] O.T. whan flu vaccine?<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p>The way I heard it was that the health care folks were going to get it first before the general population.
