Will there be enough COVID-19 vaccines for everyone? If not, who will get them first?

It is likely that the supply of COVID-19 vaccines will be limited at first, which means not everyone will be able to get vaccinated right away.

• As doses of COVID-19 vaccines become available, they will be provided first to those at the highest risk. The specific groups that are eligible for the first doses of COVID-19 vaccines may vary depending on the vaccine. However, initial groups will likely include frontline health and care workers at high risk of infection, older adults, and people at high risk of death because of underlying conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Once adequate doses become available, we will encourage all those who qualify to get vaccinated.
