January 18, 2021, the Department of Health and its health partners across
the state will start vaccinating a prioritized population group, within
Group 1D, of the state’s
vaccination plan. This first prioritized population group will be those 80 and over, as
well as high-risk individuals and will be expanded to other groups within

nationwide.
