Ward 3 has secret COVID vaccine sites for Ward 3 Only! Not on the DC register!

But I thought that the reason that regular doctors, not in hospitals with large facilities, could not give the vaccines was because they did not have the equipment to keep the vaccines cold.

I suppose that the Church's in Ward 7 can use their big pot luck refrigerators.

Actually, this is a good point minus the snark. And unfortunately hospital lists are closed to anyone except recent patients.

Come on. They have been bringing vaccine directly to plenty of facilities.

DCHealth has been claiming that the reason your doctor in his/her city office cannot get the vaccine is because they do not have adequate storage capacity.

I believe that DCHealth's own actions have proven that is just an excuse to keep private doctors from administering the vaccine.

The rate of vaccination is not being slowed by the zip code strategy. We only get 10,000 doses per week (11K this week) from the federal government, and there is plenty of vaccinating capacity.

Seniors in affluent areas are getting plenty of vaccine, as evidenced by the data.

You miss the point. Yes - all of the extra equity hoops take more time. Sorry - they do. I want folks in 7 and 8 to get vaccinated (even if, as noted above poster - they aren’t so great at mask wearing).
The positive cases are coming from those Wards - and Bowser has determined the whole city needs to be locked down until and if - those numbers go down.
Open up one big site - like The Arena.

Correct. Private doctors aren’t getting the vaccine anywhere. It’s being administered by pharmacies and large health networks. They can thaw vaccine and bring it into a long term care facility and vaccinate 100 people in three hours. That’s not something your doctor’s office can do. CVS ran the vax clinics at my mom’s facility.

Ward 8 residents don't eat pot luck. Let alone take a vaccine from a pot luck refrigerator.

DC residents don't go to DC churches. Just ask the Mayor.

i would like to see cases by ward over time. For example , in Feb 21', where are the most cases and what is behind the spread? If you want to do by zip code, targetbwhere the most cases are happening...today.

The Moderna vaccines, which are the ones being used in Giant/Safeway/etc. pharmacies, can be stored in normal freezers for short periods of time. The Pfizer ones have to stay in ultra-cold facilities the whole time.

They need to open sites in Ward 3. What a terrible message they've sent to some residents.

There is a site in Ward 3! And Ward 3 seniors are doing a GREAT job of getting vaccinated. The terrible message is that affluent and white people, as usual, will get the majority of any resource that is scarce.

The only feedback I've heard on this "site " is limited appointment/appoibtments being canceled/lack of vaccine. #notequitable

Doesn’t seem to be a messaging issue since more than half of Ward 3 seniors have received their first dose.

Yes, that happens everywhere, because there aren't enough vaccine doses anywhere to go around. My parents had an appointment canceled in Ward 4 because the system scheduled it for them at a site that was closed on the day it was scheduled. If your concern is that everyone has an equitable chance of finding the system lousy and frustrating, don't worry!
