Dear Aidan,
it’s safe to assume that the necessary workers will be the first to get the vaccine since they are the most exposed as much they can easly spread involutarly if asymptomatic.
Later the old and immuno compromise (people with less natural defence) will be next.
Yes the people who are most at risk, like older people and healthcare workers will get the vaccine first. Healthy and young people will be the lowest priority.
We don’t know when we will have a working and safe vaccine. Current estimates that I have seen likely think that middle to late 2021 is when we will have a vaccine that the public can widely use.
