Still, the available numbers are striking, if unsurprising. — Of the people who have received at least one of the two doses required for available vaccines, 63 percent are identified as female, compared with 37 percent who are identified as male.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
The first rounds of COVID-19 vaccinations were targeted toward health care workers and older people who live in long-term care facilities. — About three-fourths of the nation's health care workers are women, as are 65 percent of nursing home residents.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld

Women live longer than men, so there are probably more of them in nursing homes. Plus, they deserve it.
And about 3/4 of teachers are women, another category of profession already being vaccinated in some states. I work in a school in New York City. I have received my first dose of the vaccine. I'm a woman.
This headline is going to spark some type of gender war 
. I'm already seeing it being played out. Good thing you added the statistics of women workers in the health industry, however, these people aren't reading the article before they jump to conclusions.
