[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue with DC is it is so small, we could easily be well on the way to vaccinating everyone if they just went through residents by age , condition and essential worker status. Imagine if next week instead of giving away half the vaccine out of state DC retained it, and instead of 7,500 DC residents able to be vaccinated through the DC GOV sign up-it were 14,000. In a month that would be 56,000 DC residents. Plus the hospital set asides which are another slice. Could we get to 100,000 in a month? That would be almost a 1/5 of the the 500,000 adult residents we need to vaccinate. The following month, April, another 1/5, May, another 1/5. We would be on target for everyone who wants one having one by June....and well on our way  to protection in all neighborhoods, especially of the most vulnerable.  
If we continue on the Mayor's 1/2 rate of vaccinating residents, on the other hand, you are looking at December  2021.[/quote]

Resident vax rates are rising now that the healthcare worker bolus is finished.[/quote]

Can you show the source for this? They just opened it up to grocery workers, food manufacturing etc and coninuing to vaccinate previous out of state groups. Also, seems like they are releasing about the same amount of vaccine to residents through the DC GOV sign up. So curious to see the difference in Numbers. Thanks![/quote]

The amount of vaccine given out via the portal has more than doubled in recent weeks.[/quote]

This graph does not show a rise in resident doses.[/quote]
