[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ essential workers is an ever expanding category that is taking half the vaccines from at risk DC seniors. At some point, you gotta choose. Do you care about DC seniors..or not?[/quote]

Vaccinating essential workers while you also vaccinate seniors, even if it's out of a limited pool of vaccine doses, does not show you "don't care" about D.C. seniors. Partly because if the essential workers who are doing things like stocking the grocery store where the seniors shop (or delivering their groceries to their homes) are vaccinated, that helps protect the seniors, too.

It'd be another thing if they were vaccinating, like, members of the media ahead of seniors, but there's no indication D.C. is moving into that category yet. They aren't even vaccinating people under 65 with underlying health conditions. Seniors are ahead of virtually everyone else -- appropriately so -- but it makes some sense to go ahead and push along on multiple tracks at the same time. Many seniors will also be eligible to be contacted through hospitals, which have their own allocations to give out, though I know that whole thing has been another controversy here.[/quote]

Members of the media are in a subsequent category, ahead of remaining DC residents. Maybe they'll get to them in 2022 or 23.[/quote]
