[quote=Anonymous]Here are the numbers as just reported on the local news:

62,219 doses of vaccine administered in DC to this point.

29,249 of those DC administered doses were to people who are self described as non DC residents but who work in the city.

16,000 doses have been provided to DC beyond the Federal allocation by both Maryland and Virginia (8,000 doses from each state).

At this moment there is no existing agreement to provided further doses from Maryland or Virginia to DC.

At this moment Mayor Bowser has said that she will work on future doses of vaccine being provided to DC from Maryland and Virginia.

The story pointed out that there are teachers living in DC but who teach in Fairfax County who have been inoculated in Virginia under the Virginia plan and allocation. It seemed to provide this as an example that it was not only DC inoculating non DC residents.

There was no suggestion that the number of DC residents getting their shots in Md and Va approached the 13,000 dose deficit DC appears to be in currently.

Story closed by saying that once federal workers are included in the numbers, there is a potential for further widening of the discrepancy.
