12/ The @OrangeHealthNC has plans to go to daycare providers in our county and vaccinate them at work. I’m so grateful to them. But they can only work with the supply they are given by the state...

14/ The big health care system gets a lot of vaccine. By all accounts, they’ve set up a very efficient operation at their big vaccination site & they are vaccinating lots of people.

17/ This is such a weird time. The sun is finally shining here. Case rates have dropped a lot after the Nov/Dec surge (but still higher than the most of 2020)https://twitter.com/NCHealthNews/status/1364653363716104192 …

18/ I know of more and more youngish, WFH White people getting vaccinated (through a variety of lawful means). *And* I hear a narrative that Black and Brown people are just vaccine hesitant. But what I see onthe ground is how much the system is just serving them

context for NC’s policy shift: State legislature increasingly threatening school districts (like mine) that remain remote. The K12 teacher in my story will likely be teaching in-person soon. In response, the governor changed prioritization. But community outreach remains key

The refresh-website-all-day-good-luck-to-you method of apportioning appointments is terrible! What we needed is a single point sign-up once, and call back to people via phone/text/email so we catch them *plus* outreach and workplace/neighborhood vaccinations.
