Of the 51,421 doses of vaccine administered in the District as of Jan. 23, data shows 47 percent went to workers who don't live in D.C. That’s far higher than in Virginia, where at least 85 percent of the commonwealth’s administered doses have gone to Virginians, and in Maryland, where at least 93 percent of doses have gone to its residents, according to an I-Team review of vaccine data mapped by in-state recipients.

Health workers from outside the city were always supposed to receive this vaccine in the city.  This was the plan.  Not some cheating scheme.[/quote]

No one said its a cheating scheme. People are sayung the city should have asked for AND SECURED doses to cover them.[/quote]

They did ask. Not sure how they could have secured the doses once they asked and didn't get them. And I don't know why anyone would think [b]it'd be better for them to have left front-line health care workers [/b]unvaccinated in D.C. hospitals just because they live in Virginia or Maryland.[/quote]

[b]No one[/b] thinks it would be, but as this continues according to their published plan its going offered to pretty much every worker in the DMV who works in the city. So please read the full phrase--they should have asked AND SECURED. Or stop doling them out.[/quote]
