How much is DC Health relying on hospitals & health centers to book appoints for their patients? It used to be 30/40% to portal and individual hospitals. Now DC Health leans on vaccinate.dc.gov. GW and Howard are using portal. Looking to on board more hospitals.
Will DC release total dose delivered data? Yes, this Monday. DC Health's Dr. Shah says the first dose metric is losing value cuz J&J vaccine, so they were looking to drop this. DC will try to include fed partnership doses.

What's happening with translating vaccinate.dc.gov?
DC gov is putting together their translations. They are still on track to translate everything from the portal to confirmation emails in 6 languages by the end of the month. DC Health is using Google widget rn.

More on this after @CMLewisGeorgeW4 followed up: Dr. Shah says "For the supply side, we are opting into every opportunity" that comes. Another official agreed but added "The FEMA partnership does not get us more doses." I'm confused, following up.
