"Find Your Place in the Vaccine Line"
A vaccine may be around the corner, but how long will it be until you get the shot? Health officials are considering vaccine timelines that give some Americans priority over others. If youre a healthy American, you may wait many months for your turn.
To put this in perspective, we worked with the Surgo Foundation and Ariadne Labs using their vaccine tool to calculate the number of people who will need a vaccine in each state and county and where you might fit in that line....
