[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you saying that the city should not take advantage of existing medical records and contact information for medically vulnerable people that already exists? That instead, it should build an entirely new database by combining data from multiple sources and then using that data to contact individuals? You do understand that they are trying to reach people quickly and save resources where they can so as to be able to afford to distribute the vaccine to as many people as possible?[/quote]

The city should follow its own protocols. Right now they are mw3ant to be innoculating a certain group of people as per the CDC guidance theyve adopted, who call the phone line or web site and are scheduled for an appointment. The hospitals could simply be more sites efficiently administering those shots to the people the city has stated are in the current priority group. By the way, Im on one of these hospital lists - I wont say no if called, but that doesnt make this set up right.[/quote]

Where in the protocol does it say that vaccines will [b]only[/b] be distributed through appointments online or by phone? DC is by and large following the tiering, but they've added teachers, daycare workers and (I think) front-line workers. The situation remains fluid as they try to get vaccine out as quickly as possible to different populations.

Are you following the other state threads? People are going crazy trying to register through pharmacies, the state registration sites and the various hospital systems. I am trying to get my parents a vaccine in Montgomery county and it's a mess.[/quote]

For what it's worth, there are also separate vaccination systems for teachers and cops, who register on their own and go to their own dedicated sites and don't have to use the city health portal, either.[/quote]
