[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. DC does require proof of residency or even DC ID. They made that decision as they were concerned ID'ing would scare off homeless and undocumented (both are at risk categories)

2. It is well known in the DCHealth department already that getting your COVID shot in DC is actively going on right now with people from Arlington, Alexandria, MoCo etc. At the end of the day it is simply easier to go through DC's system than to work the MD or VA systems.

3. DC is vaccinating all commuter workers in their phases. [b]MD and VA have agreed to supplement this group though the execution has not been formalized[/b].

4. Part of the reason DC is asking for insurance information (again, not required to provide, but they will take it if you have it) and the hospitals already have the information is so that DC will be reimbursed most of the administration of these shots. This will play a larger factor as more shots become available. While the shit right now is free from the Federal Government, DC is wracking up administrative and logistics fees that they are allowed to seek compensation for through insurance. [/quote]

yep, thats why they are loving the hospitals (transferring admin costs).  they had better work it out. i will feel poorly represented if a licensed MD social worker who doesn't even work in the city (and many others like her), is delaying my place in line. Zero issue waiting on fellow residents, but no so other states can get their services here. [/quote]
