Access is also a larger issue in under-served populations. I'm fortunate enough, as probably are many on this site, to be able to just swing by CVS during some downtime while WFH. A person who is paid hourly for an in-person job and reliant on public transportation will have a much harder time.
I wish there were stats on "want to vaccinate, but haven't been able to."
- jrockway 5y agoVery true. I'm the best possible case, right? I get my full salary and benefits to wander over to CVS only to be told they're out of vaccine. I get my full salary and benefits while filling out all the paperwork. And if I do get COVID, guess what -- full salary and benefits while I recover. Most people are not that lucky, and unfortunately have to choose to roll the dice on COVID to avoid the certainty of being fired for missing work. I would love it if there was data on "want a vaccine but couldn't get it". The vaccine finder website could have you indicate "I'm interested" and then email you every month and ask you to confirm that you got a vaccine or that you gave up or that you're still looking. I fear that people don't ask questions they don't want to know the answer to; "300 million people are looking for a vaccine but only 200 million got it" would not look good. Sigh!!
