D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser opened up COVID-19 vaccinations to four new groups of workers this week, but customer-facing restaurant staff are still waiting for their turn despite being classified by the city as “essential” personnel throughout the pandemic.
Starting Thursday, February 18, people in the following categories could begin registering for vaccine appointments: grocery store workers, manufacturing workers, food packaging workers, and workers in health and human services or social outreach. Those groups are part of the final tier within Phase 1B of the District’s vaccination plan.
The on-going COVID-19 pandemic has really taken its toll on our nation and the world. But just when hope appeared to be fading, a vaccine was announced followed by another. It s almost like people collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The COVID-19 vaccines that are now available to South Dakotans are the Pfizer and Moderna brands. Based on priority and need, The South Dakota Department of Health divided residents into five distribution groups for Phase 1:
Group A: Frontline Healthcare workers and Long-term Care Facility Healthcare Workers
Group B: Long-Term Care Residents (nursing home and assisted living)
Group C: Other healthcare workers (including laboratory and clinic staff), Public Health Workers, Emergency Medical Services, Law Enforcement, and Correctional Officers.
