Healthcare workers, first responders and long-term care facilities are set to receive the first doses.&nbsp;Now health experts say because the demand for the vaccine will exceed the early supply, some people in those groups who aren't as healthy should be made even more of a priority.A new update to the distribution plan was sent in a letter to those qualifying in the first group, categorized as Phase 1a1.&nbsp;Within the Phase 1a1 groups, people older than 65 are now highly prioritized to receive the shot first.&nbsp;People going through cancer treatment, as well as those with a history of severe disease — including kidney disease, diabetes and cardiac disease — are highly prioritized as well.&nbsp;Healthier people within the Phase 1a1 groups will be offered the vaccine after these prioritized groups receive their vaccinations.&nbsp;Tennessee is expecting 56,550 doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week. A second shipment is expected about three weeks from now.&nbsp;The first and second shipments will be given as the first and second doses to those in Phase 1a1.&nbsp;Once the people in Phase 1a1 have been vaccinated, the state will move to vaccinate groups in Phase 1a2.&nbsp;The next phase includes Tennessee's primary care providers, pharmacists and staff of outpatient pharmacies.&nbsp;Urgent care providers, oral health providers and lab staff working with COVID-19 specimens are also grouped into Phase 1a2.&nbsp;Most people in Phases 1a1 and 1a2 will receive the vaccine through their employer or through their county's health department.&nbsp;Long-term care facilities will be vaccinated through retail pharmacies.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is now with you on the go!
