The CDC ACIP recommendations of vaccine distribution is available.
It notes there are 21 million health care workers and only 3 million people in LTCF.  Those are the only two groups that the ACIP mentions for their recommendations.  Considering that there were announced plans to have 40 million first doses out within 4 weeks (which would cover those 24 million and 16 million more), I find that woefully short of giving much guidance.

The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses, so 40 million doesn't even cover the 24 million people in groups 1a & 1b. It only gives them the first dose. Not sure how long after that they are supposed to get the second dose.

21 days after the first dose.  But remember, Pfizer/BioNTech are manufacturing more all the time.  Come next year, they are expecting to be producing 100 million doses a month.
