[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All vaccines appointments should be made through an (improved) website, telephone and/or customer service kiosk or roving mobile sign up units. Everyone should have the same access according to their category (65+, teacher, whatever). NOT according to zip code. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.[/quote]

The reason they've been breaking some appointments out for only certain Zip codes is because residents of the Zip codes they're excluding from those slots have already taken a hugely disproportionate share of the vaccines. Seems like that would be a problem for any lawsuit to overcome. (As would the fact that only some spots are reserved for certain Zip codes, and the fact that what Zip code you live in is not a protected class.)[/quote]

If DC cannot check ID when you go in for the vaccine what is stop someone from lying about their zip code?[/quote]

Perhaps nothing. The same nothing that's going to happen when they open it up to childcare providers or other areas where small businesses operate. [b]Very easy to print out a fake document saying I work at a daycare inside my own home, or for a private nursery school that doesn't exist[/b]. Or at a restaurant etc etc. Small shops don't have corporate IDs....cheating will be rife. [/quote]

Fraudsters gonna commit fraud. Welcome to the human race![/quote]

Yup. Which is why I am glad the DCPS/DCPCS teachers are getting to go first. Easy for them to check ids, etc. [/quote]
