[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another day, another Washington Post article explaining how the Bowser administration is deliberately slowing vaccine distribution in the city so that the service for middle class citizens can be just as shtty and poorly distributed as it is for poor citizens.[/quote]

This should be a front-page story:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-vaccine-pharmacies/2021/04/12/788a6b00-9b9a-11eb-8005-bffc3a39f6d3_story.html[/quote]

This is a total debacle:  "Seiji Hayashi, a medical director of Mary’s Center, one of the largest clinics, said that as of early April, Mary’s Center had vaccinated 2,400 of its 60,000 patients."

I'm sorry, but if you are a health care provider to 60,000 vulnerable people and you have not managed to vaccinate even ONE PERCENT of them, you have totally failed.  Mary's Center should have been aggressively distributing its vaccine to patients, or working with them to register with the city or pharmacies.

As it stands now, registering at CVS or Walgreens or in MD is the best way you can help someone get the vaccine. I just did it for an elderly African American man last week.  The DC system where on the one hand, they aren't making the independne providers actually reach their clients, and on the other hand, are relying almost wholly on the portal, is just NOT going to reach the vulnerable.

Sorry, correction - they have managed to vax a robust FOUR PERCENT of their clientele.  [/quote]
