Whereas, on December 20, 2020, the CDC ACIP released updated guidance to States regarding distribution of COVID–19 vaccines across the country; Whereas the CDC has consistently warned of serious health complications and high mortality rates amongst elder Americans over the age of 65 if they are infected with COVID–19; Whereas statistics gathered throughout the COVID–19 pandemic cite a disturbing ratio of 79 percent of total related deaths being amongst elder Americans over the age of 65; Whereas CDC guidance outlines the first priority for COVID–19 vaccine distribution will go to high-risk health care professionals and residents of long-term care facilities; Whereas CDC guidance recommends the second priority for COVID–19 vaccine delivery will be the simultaneous distribution to 30 million Frontline Essential Workers and 21 million Americans 75 years of age and older; Whereas the majority of Frontline Essential Workers are under the age of 65, and the CDC is therefore prioritizing young, healthy people ahead of elder Americans between 65 to 74 years old, including those with underlying health conditions; Whereas CDC guidance recommends the third priority for COVID–19 vaccine delivery will be the simultaneous distribution to 57 million Essential Workers , 32 million elder Americans 65–74 years of age, and 110 million Americans 16–64 years of age with high-risk medical conditions; Whereas the majority of Essential Workers are under the age of 65, and the CDC is therefore placing these workers at the same level of priority as vulnerable elder Americans 65–74 years old, including many with high-risk health complications; Whereas the current guidance allows 87 million “Essential Workers” to receive the vaccine at or before the same time as elder Americans 65 and older, and the CDC is therefore prioritizing tens of millions of young, healthy workers to receive the vaccine ahead of those who are statistically far more likely to die upon contracting the disease, according to their own statistics
