SHARING THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SCHEDULE A VACCINATION APPOINTMENT AT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CENTERS- ANITA 

 

Vaccination Registration

 

All 740 available appointments made available today have been filled. More appointments will be released next Thursday for District residents 65 and older in priority zip codes and/or residents who work in a health care setting. sign up for alerts via email or text for future announcements.
  
Currently demand for the vaccine in DC is much higher than the supply we are receiving from federal government. Mayor Bowser and DC Health continue to advocate for the federal government to send more vaccine so that we can meet the high demand for it and protect the lives of our residents and our workforce.

If you are not 65 and older and/or do not work in a health care setting in DC, please sign up for alerts via email or text for future announcements.

Thank you again. Together, we will save lives and end this pandemic.

Hospital Patients

District hospitals have started outreach to schedule their patient population of DC residents 65 years and older.  Please visit the hospital website where you are a patient (seen by the hospital in an outpatient clinic within the last two years) for instructions on how to register for an available appointment. Like the District’s COVID-19 vaccination scheduling portal, hospital appointments are limited.
