[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS they are experimenting this week with a church vaccination clinic.[/quote]

But I thought that the reason that regular doctors, not in hospitals with large facilities, could not give the vaccines was because they did not have the equipment to keep the vaccines cold.

I suppose that the Church's in Ward 7 can use their big pot luck refrigerators.[/quote]

The Moderna vaccines, which are the ones being used in Giant/Safeway/etc. pharmacies, can be stored in normal freezers for short periods of time. The Pfizer ones have to stay in ultra-cold facilities the whole time.[/quote]

They need to open sites in Ward 3. What a terrible message they've sent to some residents.[/quote]

There is a site in Ward 3! And Ward 3 seniors are doing a GREAT job of getting vaccinated. The terrible message is that affluent and white people, as usual, will get the majority of any resource that is scarce.[/quote]

Where is the site?[/quote]
safeway[/quote]

The only feedback I've heard on this "site " is limited appointment/appoibtments being canceled/lack of vaccine. #notequitable[/quote]

What determines equity is not how many vaccine sites there are in a given ward, though. It's how many people eligible in a given ward are being vaccinated -- and what share of the vaccinations each ward makes up. By that standard, Ward 3 is doing just fine.[/quote]

Hmmm...you don't know what equity means...interesting.

Does anybody know officially why there is only one vaccination site in Ward 3?

If we don't like the optic of rich seniors trapesing across town to SE, where are they supposed to sigh up to get the shots in Cleveland Park, Tenleytown, Friendship Heights. There can't possibly really be no locations there. (AU Park? Spring Valley?)[/quote]

Stop complaining about Ward 3 not having access. You are disgusting.

You must not understand what "access' means.[/quote]

"NOUN
a means of approaching or entering a place."

Everyone in the city has access to the same web + phone sign up mechanism. Oh, and the Mayor sent sign up teams to knock door to door in Ward 8, and is opening a Church parishioner clinic. Ward 3 has fewer "sign-up days" and no sites. I think you mean Ward 3 has "[b]curtailed access[/b][i]". Yes, [i]that[/i] is disgusting.[/quote]
