Will DC be doing any more sign ups just for 65+ or are they just going to have to compete with all the prexisting condition folks from here on out?[/quote]

I hope they do. It’s an extreme mess if they don’t. [/quote]

DC has created SO many 'baskets' now. They may do a separate sign up for 65+, but it will be for fewer doses so your chance will be the same--just the lines won't crash (maybe). Between the clinics vaccinating out of state workers, separate hospital allotments for client lists (how is this really ethical  :roll: ), zip code set asides, ages groups and at-risk condition groups--they've kind of made it so everyone has a slim chance unless you fall into more than one category. Then you're golden!

The idea behind decentralization is to get the vaccine out through multiple channels. So, yes, teachers, homeless people, resident populations, and kids 16-17 have separate pools of vaccine than the general public. [/quote]

And people who have been patients in a hospital for the past two years have a set-aside. and undocumented, and other out of state "essential workers". When you get to the actual amount of vaccine being released  on the GOV weekly website/phone line - it is about 1/3 of the actual available supply is the number I believe I have seen cited. If you have other pipelines, your chance goes up. If that's your only pipeline--it's slim pickings.  Math![/quote]
