Nursing home residents and their carers get first priority. The subsequent tiers mainly prioritize the elderly.

Quote:The first phase of the U.K.’s vaccination program will work through nine groups, beginning with residents in care homes for older adults and their carers. Next, all those over 80 years of age and other front-line health and care workers will be offered the jab.
Over-75s are in the third tier of prioritization, followed by the over-70s and extremely clinical vulnerable younger adults.
Health care workers,obviously, and hands-on educators, i.e., classroom teachers. The elderly can actually self-isolate fairly easily, compared to other sectors.
I want to see society normalize for children, ordinary workers, and so on, far more than I want to see the elderly safeguarded.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
