23 million ahead of me. I'm on the younger side, but I have a disease that makes me immunocompromised and am on a medication that further puts me at risk.

Behind:
126M in the country
2.2M in WI
125K in Dane County
Messed around with it and the numbers double if I don't put that I'm an essential worker.

Yeah this is basically where I'm at, other than the fact I'm in Hamilton County, Indiana and not Orange County lol.
Behind 23 million due to my weight (which is apparently a Covid risk factor), but behind 260 million otherwise. I'm not going to go cut the line just because I'm obese though - I can wait.
I wonder what they consider at risk. And Im considered essential by the city so hopefully I can get it sooner rather than later.
Ditto. I work for the government and have been coming into the office since the summer so maybe I'll get into the essential worker or other essential worker part of the line but either way I'm gonna be waiting a while, my wife's a teacher so at least she'll get it somewhere in the middle
Personally I think this is gonna be a logistical nightmare though, so many moving parts
hold my place at 144 million
my guess, because that age group is spreading it like wildfire. vaccinating a sizable percentage of them would greatly reduce spread.
I technically am at high risk because of asthma and I'm overweight or on the verge of obese. BUt..... those are kinda bull shit, I'm not really at risk like many people are. My wife is a teacher and I'm disappointed that she's still a good deal back, I Was hoping there'd be a chance she'd be an early recipient maybe by late December so that schools can re-open in January at least partially like NYC has.
But answering honestly, I'm pretty far back. Middle age (mid-late 30s), relatively good health, a job I can do from home. I'd love to get a vaccine early, but I'll take my lumps and wait.
When the NYT The Daily had the episode about vaccine distribution a couple weeks ago it was before the CDC recommendations came out, and there was some speculation that you could see young, health adults moved *up* in priority because they're much more likely to spread COVID, even though they're less at risk to face serious consequences from it. So, from a personal risk factor they're very low priority for a vaccine, but from a public health perspective, they could be moved up a lot higher because vaccinating young, healthy people who are the lifeblood of the economy can end up cutting down on community spread than vaccinating old, at risk people who are already much less mobile, much less likely to spread. It's an interesting debate, but ultimately states and the CDC seem to be erring on the side of some balance of spread and your likelihood of severe consequences, so bumping young healthy people down and at risk people up.

23 million ahead of me, thought I'd maybe get it sooner since my spouse is a health care worker and I have pre-existing conditions. She's obvious behind "very few" people per the site
I was considered an essential worker when the pandemic started. So I actually fall into the group after first responders. I wonder how they will differentiate. Like how would they know if you were an essential worker or fall into the illness category.
Behind about 144 million other Americans and 10 million Floridians.
Lovely. 😐
Gonna go ahead and blame the Villages because fuck the the Villages.

Seems about right; as soon as they announced vaccines I figured I would likely fall into the last group to get one. And that's ok, because I can WFH, keep up masks and social distancing, and be safe until it's my turn.
Based on your risk profile, we believe you're in line behind 23.0 million people across the United States.
When it comes to Pennsylvania, we think you're behind 975,200 others who are at higher risk in your state.
And in Northampton County, you're behind 14,700 others.
This is due to me being a cancer survivor. Higher risk category.

Well. Good thing I'm adept at holing myself up in my house for months on end.
Based on your risk profile, we believe you're in line behind very few people across the United States.
When it comes to California, we think you're behind very few others who are at higher risk in your state.
And in Los Angeles County, you're behind very few others.

Yeah my sister and brother-in-law will likely be getting the first rollout here in CA due to their work and location, parents in the next round whenever that hits, and my partner and I? lol probably dead last.
Can someone give me their two cents on where I stand?
I work in a job that requires me to be in hospitals and clinics run by the military, not in the state where I live, which means I'll be in contact with healthcare workers daily, but am not one myself, but on a government site. I've also already had Covid back in June.... but have ashtma.
That's so many places in the line, potentially depending on what you look at, and I don't think i've seen anything definite about any of it.

I've heard the govnerment is shipping vaccines to their foreign embassy employees and their families, regardless of health status. I also bet they saved enough doses for all the senators and people in congress. So that's fun.
I don't think doctors and health professionals know yet since everything is in flux about how much to expect. A doctor friend of mine said that in WA they're prioritizing health workers that actually come into physical contact with Covid patients.
Behind 268.7 million in the country. 7 million behind in my state, and 488,700 in my county.
Sounds about right. I'm 31 and don't work in an essential industry. I do have a mild case of asthma but it's so mild that I wouldn't consider it putting me at risk.

No surprise, I'm in the "quarantine until everyone else has gotten it" part of the line but I've been expecting that from the get-go given my age, job, etc., so nothing really changes for me and I'm happy to make sure the more vulnerable populations get to it first.
43 and high blood pressure gets me 66K in line in my county. Woo High blood pressure finally doing something for me.
I think the idea is they'll get immunized and even if you catch it, they won't.
I'm in the back of the line but that doesn't really bother me, I'm happy as long as vaccination rates are high enough to slow the spread and the vaccine rolls out to the more vulnerable population first. I can continue wearing masks and social distancing as long as needed until I can get the vaccine.
Based on your risk profile, we believe you're in line behind 268.7 million people across the United States.
When it comes to Louisiana, we think you're behind 4.1 millionothers who are at higher risk in your state.
And in East Baton Rouge Parish, you're behind 418,600 others.
If the line in Louisiana was represented by about 100 people, this is where you'd be standing:
