From YouTube: Councilmember Domb on Vaccine Distribution 3-11-2021
Description
From the Stated Meeting of Philadelphia City Council held March 11, 2021.
A
A
It's
been
a
rough
year
for
all
of
us,
particularly
though
our
young
people,
whose
high
school
and
college
years
have
really
been
impacted,
and
that's
why
I
think
it's
important
today
that
we
recognize
when
good
things
happen,
particularly
as
it
impacts
our
younger
people
last
night,
kindergarten
also
got
snatched
away
from
a
lot
of
children
as
well.
Sir,
thank
you.
A
A
A
On
february
22nd,
the
cdc
allocated
a
total
of
sixty
three
thousand
six
hundred.
Ninety
first
and
second
doses,
combined
on
march
first
cdc
upped
its
allocation
to
a
total
of
sixty
eight
thousand
six
hundred
forty
first
and
second
doses
combined
on
march
eighth,
the
cdc
once
again
upped
its
allocation
to
a
total
of
seventy
thousand
nine
hundred.
Eighty
first
and
second
doses
combined
three
days
ago.
The
health
department
informed
us
that
during
the
week
of
february
22nd
the
city
administered,
51,
300,
first
and
second
doses.
A
A
If
we
need
to
vaccinate-
let's
just
say:
1.2
million
philadelphians
and
two-thirds
of
these
vaccinations
require
two
doses
of
either
the
pfizer
or
moderna
dose.
We
will
need
to
administer
1.6
million
doses
of
visor
from
modern
vaccines
and
400
000
of
the
johnson
johnson
doses,
which
is
one
shot
for
a
total
2
billion
doses.
A
A
The
total
number
of
fully
vaccinated,
two
dosed
philadelphians
at
present,
is
somewhere
around
a
hundred
thousand,
but
that
our
goal-
our
objective
here,
has
to
be
to
administer
approximately
1.8
million,
more
doses
by
the
end
of
may,
which
is
the
timeline.
President
biden
laid
out
the
distribution.
A
According
to
my
calculations,
if
we
vaccinate
at
our
current
pace,
we'll
be
at
hurdles
heard
immediately
in
maybe
seven
months,
depending
on
how
long
fema
sticks
around
for
health,
that's
not
the
worst
look
at
what
we're
being
allocated
and
what
we're
able
to
distribute
in
about
three
weeks
we'll
have
to
preserve
all
our
doses
for
those
who
need
a
second
dose
example.
Is
the
convention
center.
As
of
march
23rd,
no
more
first
doses
there
they're
going
to
switch
the
second
doses.
A
A
A
When
we
put
our
biggest
vaccination
site
in
a
white
neighborhood
and
use
an
invitation
list,
that's
overwhelmingly
white,
it
seems
we're
set
up
to
fail
on
equity.
When
we
first
announced
the
philly
special
plan,
I
and
others
said
this-
is
the
best
plan
for
scaling
up
our
vaccination
capacity
and
achieving
racial
effort.
Today
I
say
that
this
is
not
just
the
best
plan.
It
may
only
be
the
only
plan
we
have
to
get
the
job
done
at
this
point.
A
The
last
week
was
going
to
discover
a
lot
of
details
about
what
we're
doing,
and
it's
not
looking
great.
Now
we
have
to
fix
it.
I
hope
all
of
you
will
stand
with
me
to
encourage
the
mayor
to
open
up
lincoln
financial
field
and
other
large-scale
sites
with
a
plan.
We
need
a
plan
to
deliver
1.8
million
doses
before
the
end
of
may,
because,
as
of
now,
we
are
on
the
wrong
track
and
we
are
heading
in
the
wrong
direction
thanks.
Mr
president,.
