Are you wondering when you’re going to be vaccinated for COVID-19?

With footage over the weekend of semis rolling out from Michigan to all points in America, some of us are destined to receive the vaccine. Health care workers obviously will be first, but what about you?

Dakota County has said it’s prepared for when they’ll be able to start vaccinating. Following those healthcare workers, will be emergency personnel and the elderly, as well as people with medical conditions.

So where do you stand? The New York Times, along with the Surgo Foundation and Ariadne Labs put together an interactive tool located on the New York Times website that estimates the wait in line for Americans.

So, we ran some scenarios.

In Dakota County, if you’re 70 years old with no specific COVID-19-related risks, here’s what your wait looks like: “You’re in line behind 118.5 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Minnesota, we think you’re behind 1.9 million others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Dakota County, you’re behind 137,600 others.

If you’re 80 and living in a long-term care facility and have COVID risks, here’s what the calculator revealed.

“You’re in line behind 17.0 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Minnesota, we think you’re behind 346,400 others who are at higher risk in your state.
