[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been told Howard Hospital is doing walk in vaccinations, anyone on the street. Does anyone have any info on that?[/quote]

I'd heard they're doing it for otherwise eligible people (i.e. over 65s) Not just anyone. [/quote]

Then that means that someone is taking the time to screen records for eligibility.  This whole thing is such a waste.  Go first to assisted living and apartment buildings full of the elderly, along with community health centers in the underserved neighborhoods.  Put a sign up list for everyone else who lives alone (or go out with Meals on Wheels).  Hospitals can use part of their allotment to vaccinate anyone else who comes through their clinics.  [b]No need to reach out to past patients.[/b][/quote]

That's the part I don't understand. Why you HAVE to have been a patient in the past two years. I'd love to get mine at a hospital, but (sadly? happily?) haven't sought medical care at one recently. I find the whole  2 year gatekeeping thing weird, and it must be about insurance + admin costs. I'd be happy to supply my insurance. I wish they would just ask for what they obviously crave.[/quote]
Presumably if you haven’t had to go to hospital in the past two years, you are comparatively healthy and shouldn’t be in these early waves. [/quote]
