[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody determined why there is only maybe one vaccination site in Ward 3? Doesn't that sound weird on the face of it. And I am not even a Ward 3 resident. Don't they have seniors who can't drive that might want to walk to get a vaccine?[/quote]

Look, I am in Ward 5 and none of the sites are walking distance for me, and I would have to take [b]at least [/b]one bus to use public transportation. Transportation for seniors is a challenge all over the city. I don't know how many sites are actually in Ward 3, but Ward 3 seniors are doing a GREAT job of getting vaccinated and are far outstripping the citywide average. So your concern is not warranted.[/quote]

There's (dubiously) one site with extremely limited stock. We actually have a great bus system, but I think one would argue that in the winter, WITH COVID abounding, the last thing you want is your most vulnerable population riding buses or ride shares all over the city in search of vaccine. It sounds like DC needs far more robust partnerships with supermarkets and pharmacies city-wide (as other states are doing).[/quote]
