[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be oversimplifying the issue here, but why doesn't DCHealth continue to give vaccines out the way it is to workers who work in the city and then at the end of the week, perhaps in a weekly "hot wash" DC, MD, and VA health officials reconcile doses administered and adjust vaccines  within their jurisdictions accordingly ensuring everyone gets a vaccine at their place of work and that the state/city vaccine doses are injected ultimately into state and city residents.

At the end of the day everything is transparent to the worker and the state/city health department resolves numbers on the margins.

Don't we have working relationships with MD and VA?

Why is this a FED issue if it can so easily be handled at a local level.[/quote]

Your idea would work but EVERYBODY here is missing the Mayor's point. She is forcing this to be a Federal issue so that the Fed has to account for DC as a state. If she worked this out at the local level, DC would not be in morning briefings downtown. The Mayor's goal is to elevate as many issues as possible to a federal level because that furthers the statehood argument. If she solves this locally, there is no reward for a good city mayor vaccinating her tiny city quickly. But there is a huge dividend to be won if the President has to read every day that DC has the lowest inoculation rate in the country. [/quote]
