[quote=Anonymous][b][/b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I signed up to receive notifications about vaccinations through the DC government. In the morning I receive a notification that people 65 or older may sign up for appointments. No sooner than 30 minutes later, I receive an email stating that all the appointments are already taken and that they're sorry they don't have more vaccine. I never believed the 1/25 date was going to fly. I'm banking more on spring break time.[/quote]

I've never heard of a more haphazard and inefficient method of achieving high vaccination rates than the current system, which is essentially this:

Wake up and logon computer and then hit re-boot on every sign up list you can find until all doses are gone in 30 minutes- Hmmm.... I guess if you have Fios maybe you can overtake someone with a slower wifi signal

OR, maybe this system favors those who don't give up

What Public Health officials should be doing is take the survival of the fittest method out of it and simply send notices to every home in DC ( use DC Drivers Li records or census records OR BOTH ( same method they use to send Jury Duty notices) and simply assign a date and time to each person.

Report here at this date and time/ don't show up, then a summons is issued for you and a fine levied - per day- until you show up and get vaccinated[/quote]

Are you kidding? Getting vaccinated is optional, and plenty of people are opting out.[b] Why would you waste precious time trying to run down people who don't want the shot when there are millions of people begging for it? [/b]I agree that the current system is terrible for elderly folks who aren't tech savvy or mobile, which is why DC is offering more shots in certain zip codes to try to catch some of these people. Hopefully when we have more vaccine available, health care workers can start going door to door or giving shots in churches.

The rate of vaccination is limited by the [b]number of shots[/b] available, period.[/quote]

PP, because well- for what should be the obvious reason- because that is how you stop the virus in its tracks, halt death and disease and with it its devastating social and economic cost.

Period

Do you think Doctors and Nurses working in Hospitals go on line every day and try to find a vaccine appointment ? Of course not, they go to work and they line them up and that is it.

Same thing in Nursing Homes. Do you honestly think Grandma Irma is trying to logon and snag a vaccine at 9AM using her iPad. No, she probably barely even gets the lip service of "informed consent" . Its very likely done like, " now here are your pills for today and here is your shot " Done.

It should be the same for all of us. Was Polio vaccine optional/ was Smallpox optional. Is Anthrax vaccine optional if you are in Military active duty. No, of course not. Why? Because there would be a devastating result for failure to vaccinate [/quote]
