I'd like to see how they run this model. To my eyes, 20% + 20% + 20% + 20% adds up to 80% high priority zip code chances for randomized selection. Are they going to cap it at 50%? Confused by this pie graph and percentage chart.[/quote]

Learn to read better. 20 + 20 + 10 = 50

[b]20% go to DC residents in priority zip codes who are 65 and older[/b]
20% go to DC residents in any zip code who are 65 and older
[b]20% go to DC residents in priority zip codes who are 18-64 with a qualifying medical condition[/b]
20% go to DC residents in any zip code who 18-64 with a qualifying medical condition
[b]10% go to DC residents in priority zip codes who are members of an eligible workforce who are 18 and older[/b]
10% go to members of an eligible workforce who are 18 and older regardless of home address[/quote]

But the people in the priority zip codes are also eligible for the OTHER 50%.  And based on last week’s briefing it sure sounded like there would be a big thumb on the scale for giving the priority zip codes the other 50% as well.  That’s why the rest of the city is frustrated. At least under the ridiculous web sign up system people had a punchers chance of getting a vax.  Under this registration system it seems like there will be very limited chance of anyone WOTP getting a should until supplies ramp up later in the spring.  [/quote]

Agreed.[/quote]

I realize data is not the plural of anecdotes, but I know of several people in my Ward 3 neighborhood who got appointments on Friday. We got one by web and also one by phone (which we used to book for a friend who was also looking for one). It’s just not accurate to claim that the current system that prioritizes doses for Zip codes that have a bigger need for the vaccine is unfair.[/quote]

You start off by saying what you are sharing is not data, but then you use it as such. PP, I'm confused...[/quote]
