We believe that its going to be First Responders and the most vulnerable who will get those first vaccines. Typically, they went until after fda authorization to do this but, they want people to get those first shots in the arms within 24 hours of authorization, so theyre fasttracking this. Robin .

Many of those returning from thanksgiving trips may want to take a test, but were told test results could take much longer.
