To put this in perspective, we worked with the Surgo Foundation and Ariadne Labs using their vaccine tool to calculate the number of people who will need a vaccine in each state and county — and where you might fit in that line.

Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 23.0 million people across the United States.

When it comes to California, we think you’re behind 2.6 million others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Los Angeles County, you’re behind 703,500 others.

Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 23.0 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Illinois, we think you’re behind 830,600 others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Sangamon County, you’re behind 21,200 others.


I'm more towards the front due to comorbidities.
