How This German (Really Hessen) Vaccination Priority Deal Works

 There are basically four levels of vaccination priority (at least via the program here in my state of Hessen).

1.  Level One:

- Folks over 80.

- Folks in retirement/care facilities (includes both employees and residents) 

- Employees hired for outpatient care services 

- Any medical folks with a very high risk of exposure to Covid-19

- Any medical person who has nothing to do with Covid patients but just likely to get it.

2.  Level Two:

- Folks over 70 year old.

- Anyone at risk of a severe infection.

- Asylum seekers/shelter-people (homeless)

- The non-medical support folks at hospitals.

3.  Level Three: 

- People over 60 years old

- Folk with chronic pre-existing illnesses

- Court people, police, firemen, police, prison officials/guards, German military, etc.

- Teachers/professors.

- Meat-packing company personnel, seasonal workers.

- Food retail folks.

- Food supply, water maintenance, energy supply, garbage pick-up folks, telecommunication people.

4.  Level Four

- Everyone else.

Getting to level four folks?  I personally doubt that they get the green light until probably July timeframe at the earliest.  A lot depends on the supply of the vaccine, and how many kinda refuse their situation in the 'line'.
