The first batch of COVID-19 vaccines has made its way into places across the US. This first wave will be the easiest to give as we focus on healthcare workers and other first line responders. As more doses become available, we will have more decisions to make. Should the injections go to nursing home residents, or should they go to patients with diabetes who have an increased risk of death if they contract the coronavirus? Although the news networks make it seem like this will solve all our problems, it appears that it will be mid-summer before at least 50% of the US population is inoculated.
