Present Biden directed all states to make all adults eligible for COVID vaccines by May 1. A major call to address health equity and access to the vaccine for all.
Apparently, NYS hasn’t gotten the message. Or at least that’s what its COVID VACCINE FORM (still live as of 3-15-21) says to me.
Here are 3 "bet you can't figure this one out" questions (from the form) meant for the average person trying to get through the first hurdle of registering for a Covid Vaccine.
"comorbidity" - nice word you likely won't hear outside of your medical training.
"public-facing" - again nice word if you're a systems developer, marketing person or a silhouette artist who doesn't have a good command of language.
"congregate setting" - easily identified with religious gathering, and maybe group home dwellers.
Dear NYS Covid Form writers:
The average US adult reads at 8th grade level or lower.
If you want to help people get Covid vaccinated, this HIGH BARRIER form has got to go.
President Biden asked us to “all do our part”.
NYS, I or any number of health communication writers are ready to help you.
No questions asked.
