First person receives Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in UK

Pretty much every state has a publicly available vaccine plan that you can read. The variance is pretty big even though it mostly follows the same progression. My stepdad can get the vaccine in phase 1b in his state, but not my mom. The state over from her my mom could get it in phase 1b, but not my stepdad.

My fiancée's parent's can't get it until phase 3 in their state, but they could both get it in phase 1b in my parent's state.

Relatively small differences in the rules can certainly affect one's position in line quite a bit. For example, an otherwise not at particular risk 60 year old is actually going to be pretty close to the end of the line in a lot of places (even though they may count as "elderly" elsewhere).

That's true. States seems to be split on 60 vs 65 as the age cutoff for healthy adults.
