I preregistered for the DC site and am getting NO emails. Radio silence. Are other people getting blast emails?

She (Bowser) loves to send Friday emails about how well things are going. Wait for it.

When it comes to health conditions it looks like they have made their way through most if not all of the people in priority zips. Not sure what the status is of people eligible through occupations,

I have a health condition and live in a non-priority ZIP code, and I registered the day it opened up and got an invitation to make an appointment the next week. And the vaccination site itself was incredibly efficient.

The line is moving. I registered with DC weeks ago, then saw an appointment with Walgreens. The day after I made the appointment with Walgreens, DC and my doc emailed me about making an appointment. Once I got my shot, I emailed DC health to be taken off the list.

Sign up everywhere you can, but you can also be proactive and keep searching the pharmacies.

I live in a non-priority zipcode / Have no medical conditions / Over 50

Radio Silence from DC. To hedge my bets I registered through Medstar and Sibley as well. We are giving it a few more days but the # of doses that are available in DC for non priority zip codes are not a lot.

Here are instructions from my DC Councilmember about how to register for the new FEMA site at Greenbelt:

DC residents 16+ can pre-register for vaccine appointments at the new FEMA mass vaccination site opening on April 7 at Greenbelt Metro.
1️⃣ Go to https://onestop.md.gov/preregistration
2️⃣ Create a free account
3️⃣ Pre-register for a COVID vaccine
4️⃣ Pick Greenbelt as your preferred site
5️⃣ Wait for a call from a 240- number to book your appointment
6️⃣ If you miss their call, call back during the daytime.
7️⃣ By using this vaccine site you're committing to go to Greenbelt for both appointments (they currently offer Pfizer)
8️⃣ If you book an appointment in Greenbelt please remove yourself from DC's pre-registration system by emailing [e-mail].

I did this about ten days ago for myself and my son, and haven't yet received a call. Should we have heard something by now?

Just recvd a robo call with Bowser announcing all the great things she’s done re Covid, I hope a viable candidate can be fund to run against her. Somehow VA and MD with far greater populations have put aside politics and worked to vaccinate all their citizens.

Go on either the DC vaccine hunters Facebook page or the Maryland vaccine hunters Facebook page and find your shot. It's not the time to be passive, folks.

Salisbury, MD has walk up vaccines available.

You can go to any of the Maryland Mass Vaccine sites so sign up for those on the Maryland website.

It is allowed as they are FEMA sites.

Pretty much, if you are willing and able to get in a car and travel a little, you can get a shot in the next week from somewhere in the region.

Once I realized that Bowser and the DC Council are intentionally making it more difficult for many of us to get a vaccine, it was easy to get one scheduled in Maryland.

Same here. With DC address.
