No evident system for vaccines in SF County

-

The state needs to publish its decision tree for vaccinatio­ns in detail and show exactly where Santa Fe County presently is in that tree.

I received a “we’re trying” email from the state. The Department of Health boasts 24.4 doses have been administer­ed per 100 Santa Fe County residents. That is a convoluted statistic; why not simply say what percent of residents have been vaccinated? That’s what people most care about.

Assuming the 24.4 doses works out to, say, 20% of the residents, who are these fortunate people? One out of five residents may have received the vaccine, yet many over 75 still wait, some with underlying conditions. A lot needs to be explained, and the state’s macro level statistics don’t come close. JAMIE PAINTER TESUQUE
