     Phased Order of Priority

      •    The movement between vaccination eligibility phases will be fluid. One phase
           may overlap with another.

      •    Not all individuals in each phase will be vaccinated before opening to additional
           groups, and not all groups within a specific phase will be made eligible to receive
           the vaccine at the same time.

      •    Once vaccine availability expands, vaccination will advance to Phase 1C and then
           Phase 2.
