The #1 group who needs the vaccine more than anyone else is a group of young, extremely healthy, low-risk individuals. Paramedics, nurses, doctors. The "front-line" to the COVID19.

Even before the "at risk" population gets the vaccine, nurses and doctors (who will be treating the at-risk population) need to first be immunized... otherwise the nurses/doctors risk spreading the virus to the at-risk population.

Fauci was very careful to say that this isn't any decision he will make on the matter. But it is extremely likely that nurses / doctors will get the first dose of vaccines.
