Health care workers on the frontlines battling the coronavirus are getting the covid-19 vaccine first. So will first responders, teachers, other “essential” workers and adults with covid health risks.

But, if you aren’t one of those, where do you fit in line?

The New York Times developed a tool in conjunction with the Surgo Foundation and Ariadne Labs to help you find where you stand.

And while it’s not definitive, it is interesting to see how long you might have to wait.

Let’s say you’re a healthy, middle-aged resident of Allegheny County working in a nonessential job. Would it surprise you to learn you may have upward of 1 million people ahead of you in line?

Check it out for yourself. But remember, this represents just one possibility. If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that things can change, and rather quickly.
