[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, there was a post on another thread from a pediatrician about why there might be delays in getting the vaccine. Try to show some patience and grace.[/quote]

Anecdotally, a majority of my family and close friends with small kids who live outside of DC (west coast & south) have made appointments with no hassle.  So not sure what the deal is with DC.  I feel like we saw this with the adult vaccine roll out.  Other parts of the country were much more efficient at actually getting it done.  [/quote]

The deal with D.C. is, we have a much higher share of parents who want to get their kids the vaccine as early as possible than most other parts of the country. Only 30 percent of parents nationwide are interested in shots for kids immediately. I bet that figure is WAY higher here, though.[/quote]

There was never a line longer than 10 mins when I (or my dozen friends) took our 12 year olds to get vaxxed at a DC pop up. I don’t expect it to be any worse for 5 year olds. In fact, most parents of 5 year olds I know would I rather wait a few months for more data compared to 12+ year olds. I say we should all calm down and see what the weekend/next week brings us before anyone freaks out. As for me, I plan to get to Takoma site Friday mid morning to see how things look. [/quote]
