White House is calling out private providers and localities for holding back doses for second doses that are intended as first doses. They want that to stop.
Give people their first dose now, even if that means not holding back 1:1 the second dose.
If providers followed this locally, it would free up tens of thousands of doses, which are currently being held back.
The transparency and clarity in these regular White House COVID briefings is pretty incredible. This is how it should work.
So far, including locally, providers seem to be generally holding back one dose for every first dose they give.

I introduced a law being heard tomorrow in committee that will require this data to be shared publicly. It's been weeks since this dashboard went public, yet SFDPH is not including basic information that other Bay Area counties are.
This dashboard doesn't show how many doses we've received, or who has them. We aren't seeing how many have been administered as a % of doses received.
My 91 and 92 year old Grandparents are, like so many San Franciscans, struggling to get straightforward information on the vaccine. This is not acceptable, for them or anyone, I'm working to increase & improve transparency, speed, communication. There are no answers right now.
Like so many other people, I haven't seen my grandparents in person in nearly a year. The last time was my Grandpa's 92nd birthday.
In other states, who are operating with the same priority tiers, many people like my Grandparents (and yours) have already been vaccinated or are at least signing up to be. Entirely unclear why this isn't happening in CA, with so few answers. We have to get moving.
Incredible and unacceptable how few answers our residents are being given right now. It really does seem that other counties, states, cities have been able to provide a lot more information and clarity, and mass distribution. Our city Health Department should too.
"Talk to your healthcare provider" is an entirely and dangerously inadequate answer at this stage.
Awful fear mongering against much needed, overdue 100 unit bldg for low income families in the Sunset
These families will come from all over SF, incl Sunset, not just the TL, tho TL families are amazing, wonderful neighbors
We need many more buildings like this all over SF.
An organization having "Tenderloin" in its name does not mean that's where residents are from. TNDC develops all over SF.
And any neighborhood would be lucky to have Tenderloin families as neighbors. They will only add to and enrich a community.
And actually the target population for this building is not formerly homeless, as many other TNDC bldgs are (which is also important and needed, incl in the sunset), its essential workers making 27k-102k. The fearmongering is entirely ridiculous. This is a hugely positive thing.
Thank you to President @shamannwalton for appointing me as Chair of the Budget & Finance Committee. It is an honor
I'm ready to get to work w my colleagues & Mayor @LondonBreed to support & invest in our residents, workers & small businesses to recover, rebuild & reform.
Our budget is a moral document that reflects our values.
Now more than ever we need to support those who have been most impacted by this pandemic and economic crisis.
Tenants, workers, small businesses, Latino, Black, API, LGBT residents, and everyone disproportionately impacted by this crisis, we have to step up for you.
With support from local, state & federal govts, I'm hopeful we can rebuild our city, and chart a better path.
