After dealing with the confusing and poorly designed COVID-19 vaccination process, we wrote The Columbian and suggested that our community was in need of an understandable explanation of how people can access the vaccination process. We are sure we were one of many who were frustrated with the chaos.
In the Sunday edition there was an excellent “tutorial” by Wyatt Stayner that brought some needed order to the confusing information many of us have been enduring in our attempts to obtain a vaccination (“What do you want to know about COVID-19 vaccination?” The Columbian, Feb. 14). It isn’t that we feel we should be at the front of the line. We would just like to know that we are actually in line and have some predictability.
In the worst health care crisis in a hundred years, it is very troubling that the best, most understandable explanation of the process has come from our local newspaper and not our health care industry. It has been brought to our attention that ours is actually a for-profit health care industry and there is no money to be made helping their customers obtain a vaccination.
We want to thank Wyatt Stayner for the well-done article and The Columbian management for seeing that it was done.
