OPIC Meeting

COVID-19 Vaccination Discussion

[Dr.Duldulao and Dr. Raphael]

• Representing OPIC at the State’s Vaccine Advisory Committee 
• Have the responsibility of supporting the State in determining how we sequence distribution of the vaccine 
• Governor’s Office [Sophorn Cheang] shared that the deadline for sequencing is January 31st 
  • Dr.Duldulao gave feedback to the governor’s office on how it is pitting communities against each other
  • Do not feel set up for success
• Leann Johnson updated that they will be making the meetings more transactional because of feedback around not being able to get through all important agenda items
  • The next meeting is on January 14, 2021
• Washington is advanced and has an application sharing where they are in vaccine distribution 
• The plan is to come up with recommendations to share with the State such as
  • Expanding definitions to reflect community/cultural practices 
  • Expanding the category of congregate 
• We are still in Phase I
  • National Guard is leading vaccination this weekend at the State Fair Grounds
  • The goal is to vaccinate 12K people a day/ hope to vaccinate 300-400K people in Phase I but only have vaccinated at 70K so far
  • Teachers are in front of the line of Phase 1B
  • Not set in stone how we define essential worker 
• Current sequencing does not include groups by race/ethnicity
  • Partially because data at the national level / CDC is really bad, so they are mainly doing it by occupation
  • Make sure communities prioritized by testing and are most impacted (i.e. BIPOC)
  • A lot of this is based on the honor system – and you identify
