The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices voted to include both groups in what they're calling Phase 1a of the CDC's coronavirus vaccine distribution plan.
"Long term care facility residents are defined as adults who reside in facilities that provide a variety of services, including medical and personal care, to persons who are unable to live independently," the CDC said.
"Health care personnel are defined as paid and unpaid persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure or infectious materials."

Ohio tea party leader urges Trump to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law to hold new vote
Cleveland Plain DealerThe ad, placed by Tom Zawistowski of the We the People Convention, drew swift criticism from at least one top Ohio Republican.
In the ad, Zawistowski states that when Democrat Joe Biden is formally elected the next president, as is expected, Trump should order the U.S. military to oversee a new election for federal candidates using only paper ballots.
Zawistowski cited unfounded claims of voter fraud, many of which have been vocally pushed by Trump himself. Trumps campaign has filed dozens of lawsuits in battleground states narrowly won by Biden, though those suits have mostly been thrown out or withdrawn.
Johnson suffers biggest Commons revolt since election as MPs back new Covid tiers by 291 to 78
Source: The Guardian
The government has won by 291 votes to 78 a majority of 213. But there are 364 Conservative MPs, which means 73 of them did not vote for the government.
Some of them may have had a valid reason although, now that proxy voting is allowed in the Commons, it can be assumed that most of the 73 who did not back the government were voting against or abstaining.
We are expecting this to be the biggest Commons revolt that Boris Johnson has suffered since the general election.
The other main ones have been:
* Vote on the 10pm curfew on 13 October - with 42 Tories voting against the government
* Vote on stopping Huawei equipment from being used in 5G on 10 March - with 36 Tories voting against
* Vote on the lockdown on 4 November - with 32 Tories voting against the government
These are the figures for Conservative MPs who voted against the government in those divisions. In each of them there were two more Tory MPs who rebelled by acting as tellers.

Source: AP News
In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information theyve received, but theyve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.
To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election, Barr told the AP.
The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the presidents most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.

As Trumps' Legal Jeopardy Mounts, Will Ivanka Snitch On Daddy?
The National MemoWhat this means for Ivanka remains to be seen. She has not yet been formally accused of committing a crime, or officially been named as a target of any investigation. Moreover, even if she is eventually indicted, everyoneeven a Trumpis presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Still, as the clock ticks down on the Trump presidency, the first daughter may well be advised to ponder whether her legal interests and those of her father have diverged to the point where it would be better to cooperate with the authorities, fess up, and ultimately turn state's evidence.
Stay tuned. This story is just beginning.
