[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think the vaccination rates may not be super accurate. My husband and I are both fully vaccinated, but we got them through our employer, the Feds. I didnt have to attest to which state I am a resident of, and although most colleagues live in VA, we live in DC and I am pretty sure we were not counted as being fully vaxxed.[/quote]

Agree. We live in Upper NW and got vaccinated in Maryland, as I’m sure were many of our neighbors. Not sure if those vaccinations are counted by DC. FWIW, I have yet to meet a parent from our school who isn’t vaccinated, and I’m confident most teachers are.[/quote]

I am in Ward 5 and this is my experience too. I don’t know anyone in DC who is unvaccinated by choice. I was vaccinated in DC through the DC Health system, so they know about me. But my DH got his in Maryland at a federally run facility and they couldn’t even find the record if his first shot when he showed up for his second (luckily he had his card with him). No way the DC numbers are accurate.

Now that they are requiring teachers and staff to be vaccinated or submit to testing, we should get a more accurate number for that by the time school is in session (some teachers haven’t even reported back yet). I would like to hope that the vaccination requirement has induced some reluctant teachers to vaccinate. I’m sure some people will still refuse, but having to test constantly would be really burdensome. Though the frequent mandatory testing of any unvaccinated adults should also help us find out more quickly what is happening with delta in schools. Unvaccinated adults pose a significantly higher threat of spreading Covid than most kids, especially young kids, because even with delta kids are much more likely to be a asymptomatic or have very mild cases.[/quote]
