[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, DC isn't dead last in terms of how many people it's vaccinated, just skewed because it's vaccinated a large number of non-residents (who presumably work in DC in health care or the like)?  Seems like DC's in a [b]hard spot[/b] because of the number of people who come into the city and interact with residents.  [/quote]

We're in a "hard spot" because DC leadership hasn't successfully negotiated more vaccine to account for this ongoing situation, yet has voiced no plans to prioritize residents going forward. Meanwhile, most residents are quiescently avoiding interaction when possible, making it even easier for our leadership to mask this. You have to almost try to be last. [/quote]

DC will be getting a larger allottment going forward...the Trump Administration limited the city's portion and a large percentage went to MD and VA resident who work at the hospitals and are first responders.[/quote]

Well that isn't true.  The vaccines weren't limited, they were originally based on population allowing DC, VA and MD to work together to vaccinate workers from other jurisdiction.  The bigger issue is that DC has only given out 66% of the doses.  Why is it so low?  Why is that also one of the lowest numbers out of all the states?[/quote]
