This COVID-19 vaccine administration, called phase 1A will be the first of five phases.
Priest said officials expect administration to reach the last phase by the end of the first or second quarter of 2021. The phases are general guidelines and the end goal is to get as many people vaccinated as we can, he said. We re not going to split hairs in between the phases, he said. This is too massive of an operation to really start debating things on one individual, if they re willing to get it and they re generally in the right phase. We re looking for and are hopeful for enthusiasm around getting the vaccine and knowing that no matter what this is going to be a little messy, on a national level, a state level, it s not going to be perfect and we re going to get to where we need to get to working through those kinds of details, he continued.
