[quote=Anonymous]Today’s Takoma pop up was a mess. Line was wrapped around from the entrance on Van Buren to the parking lot where the emissions self-test kiosk is located. It appeared that some families camped out with folding chairs waiting for the event to start. While in line, there was zero communication from DC Health and only hearsay/word of mouth info from parents who knew someone near the front of the line. The 300 doses were gone within 1.5 hours, which we only leaned when parents further up in the line started to disperse.

My kid attends school at an upcoming pop up site, but since they are first come, first served, I’m expecting more of the same. The people who will get their kids vaccinated will be the elbow-jabbing, me-first types who coordinate early dismissal or have someone else pick up their kid at 3pm and deliver them to the spot where they’ve been camping out since 2pm. Those of us with rigid schedules and no extra help won’t be able to compete with that.

The mass vax site at the former Tysons Lord & Taylor had tons of appointments the other day. Booking was easy and the process seemed organized. VA’s health department doesn’t check proof of residency, either.[/quote]
