I don't know if it's been discussed yet, but what should be the priority in vaccines when they come out?

I presume that health care workers will be #1. That's reasonable.

Then probably other first responders like police and fire.

After that, do you prioritize hot spots? Denser urban cores? Nursing homes and group living places for seniors? Does priority go to people with pre-existing health conditions?

I pondered a simple way of prioritizing based on death rates by age, and the years of life expectancy lost. Given the pattern of the virus, the priority in that system would simply start at the oldest and work its way down by age (other than a possible flip of children over those under 30). Is that reasonable?

What would be your priority list if you were in charge? Assume (random numbers here) that we can vaccinate 10 million people per month so it'll take 30 months to get everyone.
