[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is moving to residents with health conditions next week and getting more vaccine doses than ever. I have no concerns that we are on a perfectly acceptable pace for vaccinating residents.[/quote]

You are hilarious. Np, it is not acceptable to have 3.1% of residents complete as per city paper article-- when many states (with far more logistical hurdles) are at 5 or 6 %. This is a conscious decision by DC rulership to deny vaccine to residents.[/quote]

Yes, it's a conscious decision to prioritize the workforce; an approach that might not be your favorite but is scientifically valid. DC is giving out all the vaccines it has to residents and workers, and trying to reach underserved populations. We've moved to residents with health conditions, which is wonderful news for those who are high risk due to their health issues. The percentage of non-residents is expected to fall now that teachers and healthcare professionals (a huge group) is done.

As far as I am concerned, the employees who interact with DC residents for 8 hours a day are just as important to our coronavirus spread (which has fallen to orange) as anyone.[/quote]
