Last I heard my facility is expected to receive 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine next week to start administering it to patients since most all the employees who were determined high risk for exposure have already been immunized. I case manage patients for two PCPs of a staff of 30 PCPs and my combined PCP's patient panel size is 2000 patients. Of those 2000 patients of just my PCPs 60 patients are in the age range of 85 and above. Of all the PCPs combined all having roughly the same patient panel size significantly > 200 of all these combined patients are > 85. So with your "AGE ONLY method of determining priority" you tell me without utilizing additional criteria how are you going to immunize a possible 1000 85 year old patients who all want it now and not the following week with only 200 doses of vaccine ????
