[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Todays Post said DC is distributing [b]30[/b]% of the vaccine it receives through the central system. Everything else is going through these hospitals and special dispensations. No wonder people who call/use the website cant get an appointment.[/quote]

The "special dispensations" are for teachers, health care workers, police officers, firefighters, nursing homes, and day care workers, and I suspect that group in total adds up to more than half of the 70 percent that isn't going through the central system. I also suspect very few people actually object to that. So then it's 30 percent through the central system and about 35 percent through hospitals, which can triage their own patient lists to make sure the higher-risk people get them first, and about 35 percent to front-line workers who are already prioritized over the general public.

Doesn't seem like such a terrible system.

The real problem, again, is that we don't have more vaccine supply in the first place.[/quote]
