[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the hospitals,  nursing homes and feds were first to vaccinate essential workers.  And a lot of the people who work in DC in those roles don’t live in DC. This is not particularly surprising given how we are going about it.[/quote]

We still are at the point where most people who have received vaccines are HCWs and getting vaccinated through their jobs, not tied to where they live.

As we move beyond, these numbers will go down. I see no reason to be upset by these numbers. In fact, because they originally were going to give out the vaccine based on population, and we KNEW this was going to happen as DC hospitals vaccinated their staff, didn't VA and MD kick in a bunch of their vaccines to make up for it?[/quote]

Wow. You all are missing the ENTIRE point of the thread.  It's not about not vaccinating daycare and grocery workers. Its that DC requested enough vaccine for ONLY its population, NO EXTRA. DC has given halfthis supply to out of staters. Capito?
Secure more vaccine or cease the giveaway.[/quote]

It's not a question of D.C. failing to request enough doses because they only asked for its population; it's that the entire distribution system only allocates the doses based on population. You think D.C. wouldn't have requested more doses than we got if possible?[/quote]
