| Mayor Bowser, please stop making / posting excuses and work with what you have. Yes, DC needs more vaccine, and it's fine to ask, but we aren't somehow more deserving than all the other states. Let's live in the land of what is, not what if, and figure out how to get all DC residents competently vaccinated. |

| How do you get all dc residents vaccinated without more vaccine? |

Ask Fed to stop shipping to other states and give all of the vaccines to DC. |

I feel like that's what DC is asking. How is our partnership with the federal retail pharmacy program going? It doesn't seem very "robust". Is that due to the Feds, or due to DC? |

| We would have more vaccines if they had a better utilization rate for existing stock. And we would have more vaccines for residents if they actually took some steps for verification. So many people are lying since we have no rules. It makes the school lotto look strict. I'm actually ok if dc vaccinated out of state people who worked at cvs and giant. That provides more protection against spread than vaccinating white color workers that are teleworking but have moderate asthma or are overweight (they can stay home, and they are protected at essential places better if cvs and giant workers are vaccinated). |

| It’s math problem, where the healthcare workers and other essential employees who work in DC don’t live in DC. So half of our vaccine went to people fromVA & MD. Of course other states have people living & working in different states, but none have the same issue where all of a cities suburbs are in a different state. |

| Apparently everyone from new hampshire commutes to Massachusetts, and they havent taken it upon themselves to vqccinate each others workers. They are following the CDC guidelines and vaccinating their own residents. |

New York is vaccinating plenty of NJ |

I mean, your just going to have to say more than that. Has half their vaccine gone out of state? |

Again, 23% of MoCo early vaccines went to nonresidents. Just drop it. Think of the US as a big transmission pool. The more people vaccinated, the better it is for you. Now, the WAY they are doing it with the stupid on-line appointments is a huge waste of everyone's time. |

23% is not 50% and you are going to need to source your stats with better than "apparently" |

| I don't understand why we in DC can't get vaccinated at CVS. |

Ummm... MoCo Covid dashboard... easily accessible to any Internet user (although the percentage has now dropped to 22%). https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/data/ And I didn't use the word "apparently." And just so you understand percentages, X% of a larger jurisdiction could still be larger than 50% of a smaller jurisdiction. |

| Non-resident rate is now about 40% and falling in recent days. This is to be expected now that we are finished with healthcare workers, teachers, firefighters, police and childcare workers. It doesn't make sense to segregate essential workers by resident/non-resident and only slows vaccinations down. |
