"That anxiety is what pushed Tasya Bracey, a 46-year-old chef from Bowie, Md., to get vaccinated on Howard’s campus Thursday. “Death is not fun,” Bracey said, adding she has an 8-year-old daughter who needs her. Bracey, one of 500 people to receive a dose of the Pfizer vaccine at Howard this week, said she did not hesitate to get inoculated. She was encouraged by friends who are doctors and vouched for the treatment.Now that she’s finished with both doses, Bracey said she’s not in a rush to go live her life like she did before the pandemic.“I’m not going to change,” she said. “I’m still going to have my mask on. I still won’t hug my mom.” Mumbi Carter, 72, said she will also continue to wear a mask and avoid crowds. She received her final dose of the vaccine Thursday and is hopeful more people in her community will follow suit. Carter, from Suitland, Md., encouraged people to “listen to the science.” Carter’s friend, 75-year-old Johnnie Harris, compared the vaccine to wearing a shield.“It’s a small price to pay to help the community,” Harris said about 15 minutes after getting the shot. “I feel great.”"

MC hasnt finished with people in 1A. My 79 years old neighbor cannot get an appointment anywhere. Will he be able to sign up at Howard although he isn't black? I can drive him there to receive it.

I am so unclear what DCs policies are at this point. The article cites MD residents at a DC clinic so matter of factly, and it leaves me with many questions.

It sounds like Howard is vaccinating its patients just like Sibley and GW are.

But can they vaccinate whoever they want?

The article genuinely makes it sound like they are vaccinating non DC residents, non seniors and really whoever they want.

Maybe the 46 yo chef was a typo and she was 64...which is close enough to 65.

They had 500 vaccines. That is what, 1/10 of what DC released this week? it sounds like they called up friends and relatives TBH. Too hard to pound the pavement in SE and sign up DC residents?

OK, that raises a lot of questions. One-- 46 year olds? Are Sibley and GW now vaccinating 46 year olds? When did the guidance change?
Second, DC hospitals have received 1/3 of the vaccine based on DC residential population. That is NOT available to regular DC residents. I had no idea ANY was going to out of staters. How much?

At this point, I am going to get vaccinated out of state through work. It is clear DC does not care about me or my family, or getting vaccine to us in an orderly way. I feel sorry for all the DC grannies currently waiting though.

PP. DC does not care. The Mayor is making a political statement using her electorate as the leverage. So far it seems to be working.

It is not a secret that residents from VA and MD are getting their inoculations in DC. DC deliberately does not require ID. Are most of the residents from VA and MD working essential jobs in DC? Maybe not. It really does not matter. It allows the Mayor blame local government lack of planning on the Fed. This is also why she refuses to use the Districts vaccine allotment stating that she is required to hold a portion in reserve, despite both the current administration and the past saying that second doses are the responsibility of the Federal government.

The goal here is diverting the populations attention from the city to the Fed so that the Mayor can use the pandemic for her statehood push. "If we were only a state, this would all be better."

Never let a good pandemic go to waste.

As long as NW DC residents do not start dying, there is really nothing to prevent her from this strategy. It really does not worry her that a DC resident will get their vaccine six months after a Suitland MD resident if that DC resident allows her to leverage the Fed for more money and vaccines.

Now WHAT is going on here? Howard U can't find DC residents to vaccinate? I was fine reading about HBCU vax clinics until the last two paragraphs:

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.

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

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 it'd be better for them to have left front-line health care workers unvaccinated in D.C. hospitals just because they live in Virginia or Maryland.

No one 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.

But what was your plan once they couldn't secure them? Stop doling out vaccines to... out of state health care workers who work in D.C.? Why would that help anyone here?

It seems like you are being purposefully obtuse. The health care workers have already been "doled". DC has many more categories of out of state workers in its ongoing plan for whom the have not secured extra vaccine. They need a new plan that secures these supplies or they need to stop vaccinating out of staters. For what its worth, you are arguing with LaQuandra Nesbitt who admitted as such yesterday-not me. She also reported today that the two highly contagious Covid variant strains have been detected in the District. Yes, District residents deserve protection as well.

They asked. They got a bunch from MD and VA. They can't force the federal government to give more doses.

The good news is that DC's allocations have been going up every week, and Fauci says there will vaccine for everyone who wants it in April.
