[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As of Feb. 20, 3.1 percent of D.C. residents have been fully vaccinated, according to the D.C. government tracker. That so few D.C. residents have gotten vaccinated is agitating some. Vaccine providers in the District have fully vaccinated 22,073 D.C. residents and 24,838 non-D.C. residents.

Mayor Muriel Bowser acknowledged how frustrating it can be for D.C. residents to see our data when they compare it to other states who are fully vaccinating more of their own residents. She basically said the virus knows no borders, so she is not going to deny D.C.’s essential workers vaccines based on their residency. “We are so interconnected … It’s not enough to have us be there and not have Maryland and Virginia,” said Bowser during the Thursday presser. “I would tell residents to look at our numbers, but also look at what’s happening in the region because that impacts our health, that impacts our hospitalizations and the function of our capacity in the city.”

Note: D.C. is prioritizing its own residents because a majority of doses are being directed to D.C.’s seniors and then to residents with specific medical conditions, said Shah in an interview with City Paper.[/quote]

Note that 23% of MoCo's vaccines have been given to non County residents as well.  Stop with the victim complex.[/quote]
