Department of Health Services (DHS) has announced future groups that will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine tentatively beginning March 1st.
In a news release, the DHS said that the groups in priority order include education and child care, individuals enrolled in Medicaid long-term care programs, some public-facing essential workers, non-frontline health care essential personnel, and facility staff and residents in congregate living settings.
They also said groups are being prioritized due to an increased risk of exposure or vulnerability to COVID-19 and are consistent with the recommendations from the State Disaster Medical Assistance Committee (SDMAC).
