#bjbj,mr4 ,green of ,tennessee 7for     
himself and ,ms4 ,gabbard7 submitted the
 following resolution2 which was        
referred to the ,committee on ,energy   
and ,commerce  ,,resolution  ,expressing
 the sense of the ,house of             
,representatives that ,congress         
disapproves of the ,december #bj        
,,covid-#ai vaccine distribution        
availability timeline guidance of the   
,centers for ,disease ,control and      
,prevention 7,,cdc7 ,advisory ,committee
 on ,immunization ,practices 7,,acip74  
,whereas1 on ,december #bj1 #bjbj1 the  
,,cdc ,,acip released updated guidance  
to ,states regarding distribution of    
,,covid-#ai vaccines across the country2
 ,whereas the ,,cdc has consistently    
warned of serious health complications  
and high mortality rates amongst elder  
,americans over the age of #fe if they  
are infected with ,,covid-#ai2 ,whereas 

statistics gathered throughout the      
,,covid-#ai pandemic cite a disturbing  
ratio of #gi percent of total related   
deaths being amongst elder ,americans   
over the age of #fe2 ,whereas ,,cdc     
guidance outlines the first priority for
 ,,covid-#ai vaccine distribution will  
go to high-risk health care             
professionals and residents of long-term
 care facilities2 ,whereas ,,cdc        
guidance recommends the second priority 
for ,,covid-#ai vaccine delivery will be
 the simultaneous distribution to #cj   
million ,frontline ,essential ,workers  
and #ba million ,americans #ge years of 
age and older2 ,whereas the majority of 
,frontline ,essential ,workers are under
 the age of #fe1 and the ,,cdc is       
therefore prioritizing young1 healthy   
people ahead of elder ,americans between
 #fe to #gd years old1 including those  
with underlying health conditions2      
,whereas ,,cdc guidance recommends the  
third priority for ,,covid-#ai vaccine  
delivery will be the simultaneous       

distribution to #eg million ,essential  
,workers1 #cb million elder ,americans  
#fe-gd years of age1 and #aaj million   
,americans #af-fd years of age with     
high-risk medical conditions2 ,whereas  
the majority of ,essential ,workers are 
under the age of #fe1 and the ,,cdc is  
therefore placing these workers at the  
same level of priority as vulnerable    
elder ,americans #fe-gd years old1      
including many with high-risk health    
complications2 ,whereas the current     
guidance allows #hg million 8,essential 
,workers0 to receive the vaccine at or  
before the same time as elder ,americans
 #fe and older1 and the ,,cdc is        
therefore prioritizing tens of millions 
of young1 healthy workers to receive the
 vaccine ahead of those who are         
statistically far more likely to die    
upon contracting the disease1 according 
to their own statistics2 ,whereas the   
,,cdc itself1 as of ,august #ah1 #bjbj1 
reported ratios of hospitalization for  
age groups compared to the base of      

#ah-bi-year-olds as the following3 7#a7

reports ratios of mortality for age     
groups compared to the base of

 scientifically established that the    
,,covid vaccines are highly effective in
 preventing vaccine recipients from     
developing severe or life-threatening   

symptoms2 and ,whereas it has not yet   
been scientifically established that the
 vaccine is effective in preventing     
vaccine recipients from spreading the   
disease to others3 ,now1 therefore1 be  
it ,that the ,house of                  
,representatives-- 7#a7 disapproves of  
the ,december #bj ,,covid-#ai vaccine   
distribution availability timeline      
guidance of ,,cdc ,,acip prioritizing   
young1 healthy workers above many aged  
#fe and older2 and  7#b7 encourages     
,,cdc ,,acip to revise its ,,covid-#ai  
vaccine guidance to prioritize those    
aged #fe and older before providing the 
vaccine to those younger than #fe4
