Then you have other groups that many want vaccinated sooner, like teachers. So who comes first - the teacher or the one with a pre-existing condition?

In my state, they have been resorting stuff without slowing down the rollout. The only slowdown in vaccination they had was because of delays receiving vaccine because of weather. Right now teachers, school staff, child care workers are getting vaccinated along with the rest of the 75+ (and 65+ with certain co-morbidities).
