Who should get a coronavirus vaccine first?

It’s likely that health care workers will be the first to get a vaccine
when it’s available, and they probably should. Physicists who work on
network theory, though, have another way of thinking about vaccine
distribution. To reduce the spread quickly, you need to find the social
butterflies, the people at the center of networks

If you asked everyone to name a single acquaintance, it’s likely you’ll
reach the superspreaders in a community quickly. And if you vaccinate them
first, that could halt the spread of coronavirus in record time.
