Shasta health leaders want to make sure that its health care workers get vaccinated first before moving on to other groups.

Take a look.
This chart shows shasta county's vaccination rollout plan.
And it breaks it down into 3 tiers.
Tier 1 is highlighted in light blue.
That tier includes: hospitals... skilled nursing facilites... and e- m-t-s.
Tier 2 is orange.
That group includes substance abuse treament centers and behvaioral health programs to name few.
Then there's tier 3.
Which is lab workers... dental offices... and other clinics.
Phase 1, tier 1 also includes nursing care facilities and other long-term care facilities.

But as more of the vaccine becomes available, the other phases will then be added to the list.
