Jakarta, Jun 3 (EFE/EPA).- Residents of the areas affected by pandemic in Indonesian capital on Thursday received a dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as part of the country's vaccination drive.Indonesia has so far recorded over 1.8 million COVID-19 cases and 50,000 deaths since the beginning of pandemic.

Top U.S. military commanders will be among the first people to get the new COVID-19 vaccine. The military officials will receive their inoculations publicly to encourage other service members to do the same. Pentagon officials noted that leaders across military branches and commands will volunteer to take the vaccine. The top leaders include acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller and Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark Milley and Joint Chiefs of Staff vice chairman Gen. John Hyten will also participate. Pentagon officials noted that other senior leaders will also be volunteering to take the vaccine.
It's generally thought that once the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, front-line healthcare workers and nursing home residents will be first in line. But according to Gizmodo, bank tellers may get to skip the line--past them, and past the over-65's and those with underlying conditions. The industry trade group American Bankers Association has asked federal health authorities to designate consumer-facing bank employees as 'essential workers.' Such a designation would give them vaccine prioritization once the Federal Food and Drug Administration grants emergency-use authorization. To date, the U.S. has seen nearly 15 million COVID-19 cases and 280,000 deaths--the most in the world. The CDC predicts 19,500 new deaths will be reported during the week of Christmas, and that another 300,000 COVID-19 cases will be added in December.
