The vaccine is coming. What to do now

INC. THIS MORNING The vaccine is coming. What to do now With a Covid-19 vaccine on the horizon, you may be wondering when and how to fully return to the office. The answer: It’s still unclear. Employees are likely to get vaccinated at different times, meaning it could be weeks to months from the first to last worker getting a jab. Healthcare workers, and residents and staff of long-term-care facilities will likely be first in line, followed by essential workers--anyone from cops and meatpacking workers to teachers and grocery store clerks. The goal is for all of those folks to be vaccinated by the end of March 2021, according to Paul Ostrowski, the retired Army general who currently serves as the director of supply, production, and distribution for Operation Warp Speed.  After that, vaccine priority depends on age, profession, general health, and location. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that all adults should be able to get vaccinated by late 2021, assuming vaccines from both Pfizer/Biontech and Moderna get Food and Drug Administration approval soon. These logistical issues leave business owners with a major challenge: how to bring employees back to office when they're getting vaccinated at different times.
