NC Vaccination rollout plan: Those most at risk get it first

North Carolina -- North Carolina Department of Health: NC Vaccination Rollout Plan: 

A tested, safe and effective vaccine will be available soon to all who want it, but supplies will be limited at first. Independent state and federal public health advisory committees have determined that the best way to fight COVID-19 is to start first with vaccinations for those most at risk, reaching more people as the vaccine supply increases from January to June. Keep practicing the 3 Ws —wear a mask, wait six feet apart, wash your hands—until everyone has a chance to vaccinate.
