Sorry OP. I hope she gets one soon!

Just FYI, only DCPS teachers scheduled to return to in-person learning are eligible for the shot right now.

That is what it's supposed to be. But DC teachers who are listed as in-person learning by their administration are eligible for shots. There are schools that listed their teachers as in-person just in case they have to go in in the future. But they are continuing to work virtually while receiving a vaccine.

Thank you for clarifying. Anyone who thinks DC Gov is keeping close track.of any of this is hitting the pipe.

Who cares? We want all the teachers vaccinated, all the nurses, all the daycare workers, all the grocery store folks. Line them up and give them the goddamned shot!

I agree. I guarantee you that my teacher neighbor (DC resident, btw) is more likely to go back to teach in person if she is vaccinated. She was denied the shot, by the way, because she's not in person yet. As she should have been according to the rules, but as a parent with kids in school, I am all for vaccinating all teachers and then requiring them to work. Aren't you?

Most DC teachers I know who want to be vaccinated (including private school teachers) have been vaccinated through DCs special clinics. DCPS Teachers who were willing to commit to teach in person were offered the shot. She is not telling you the whole story. And no, you don't get to be an under 65 healthy person zooming and get the vaccine based on hypothetical 'maybe's'

According to the NYT - DC has only 63% of the shots it has been given in the arms of its citizens. We are way at the bottom of the list - with Rhode Island and Puerto Rico in terms of getting vaccines out.

Where the hell are the vaccines? Who is Bowser holding on to them for? DC had 700k or so in population - condensed in the city. Why not open up convention center and use up those doses?

Bowser needs to go. Her management of this crisis is single vision at best.

Don’t worry, you’ll get 17 self congratulatory emails from her though.

I think part of the problem in peeling back DCs statistics is how many have gone to actual city residents. The city plans to vaccinate 10,000 grocery store employees next.
