Multiple phase rollout. Phase I for frontline workers in large metro areas in December; Phase II for essential workers/extended healthcare professionals in early 2021; Phase III for everyone else somewhere around April.
Refrigeration and storage requirements vary for the two different vaccines, which means that the Pfizer vaccine is likely to stay close to areas that can more easily support the storage requirements (-70*C), whereas the Moderna vaccine can be stored in many traditional freezers (-4*F or -20*C).
