COVID-19 Vaccine
Beginning today at 6:00 p.m., approximately 2,450 additional vaccination appointments will become available to all District residents who are 65 years of age and older and/or individuals who are members of an eligible workforce group.
Eligible workers include: individuals who work in a health care setting; individuals who work in a grocery store setting; outreach workers who work in health, human, and social services; individuals who work in manufacturing; and individuals who work in food packaging (e.g. persons who work at Food & Friends and other similar facilities).
Demand for the vaccine is high, and we anticipate the appointments to fill quickly. If you have internet access, you should register for an appointment through vaccinate.dc.gov. If you do not have internet access, call the District’s hotline at 855-363-0333 beginning at 6:00 p.m. to register for an appointment. The call center will be open until 8:00 p.m. on Friday and from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
If you previously attempted to get an appointment and you did not receive a notification with a confirmation code, date and location, you must re-register. We appreciate your patience as we work together to get Washingtonians across all eight wards vaccinated.
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.
