Examples of prioritization in a Sentence

  1. Anna Faris:

    I think we’ve spent the last year in a place of reflection, in a place of kind of prioritization to some degree, a place of anxiety, a place of like, whatever, assessment, but I’m looking around, just so, just my fiancé’s right … he’s now my husband.

  2. Janet Yellen:

    Prioritization is effectively a default by just another name.

  3. Marc Lipsitch:

I think the prioritization serves an important function, it really does matter for those most at risk to get vaccinated first, and for health care workers to get vaccinated first, and I think opening it up, and where there is personnel available to vaccinate a larger group of people, and there are vaccines available, we shouldn't be holding back, especially if the demand from the earlier groups is starting to slow.

  4. Defense Mark Esper:

  5. Jerome Adams:

    It comes down to a lack of federal prioritization. There’s no other way to put it… It’s frustrating when you hear President Biden and Vice President Harris say on the record, ‘We didn’t see this coming. No one could have seen this coming,’ well, we always knew that in the holiday season, you’re going to see a surge. We always knew that delta, after it hit India and the UK, was going to come hit us. So this reflects a failure of the administration to really take this seriously and to prioritize the virus the way they told us they would.
