Leaving DC to get vaccinated

[Anonymous]

I heard that some people are going elsewhere to get vaccinated, because DC is so incredibly slow with vaccinations. Have you gone elsewhere to get the shot? Where have you gone?

Salisbury, MD. They checked that I was who I said I was and that I had an appointment. Nothing else.

If you are interested in booking you can go to this site. They accept everyone now because this mass vax site is never full. They just want to get shots in arms. You can see full day schedules available.

Yes you will have to lie about the eligibility because the website is not flexible. But the people there will not turn you away. You are not taking someone's place because they barely have anyone going there. If any, you are helping everyone out by utilizing the service there keeping yourself safe for vaccinating. They want to give out as much shots as possible. Again, you are not taking anyone's place in Salisbury Mass vax site. Here's the news from the previous week:

We went to Baltimore over the weekend when they were trying to fill appointment slots. It was an extra 1.5 hours in the car roundtrip, but we were in and out of M&T in under 30 minutes. Well done, Gov. Hogan!

MD resident here who is glad to have DC residents eligible by MD criteria coming to get vaccinated here. But please be very careful when you choose your location so that you are not worsening inequity by taking shots away from people in areas with low vaccination rates. So sure, go to the mass vax sites but maybe not to pharmacies in lower-income areas where people really need the convenience of those nearby locations, especially if they don’t have cars or have complicated work hours.

DC had appointments at a couple of CVS stores all day today.

I was able to schedule an appointment for someone today at Six Flags for tomorrow.

CVS appointments become available at midnight every night.
I just scheduled two appointments for Sunday in Rockville.

CVS makes new appointments available every night at midnight for 5 days later -- i.e., At midnight on Wednesday appointments for Sunday will be made avaiable.

First turn off your pop-up window blocker if you have one. Just before midnight go to www.cvs.com and look for the "Check Vaccine Availability” link and click on it. One the availability page, look for and select the link for Maryland (or your state). A pop-up window will appear and you can select "schedule an appointment now." Answer the questions on the next two screens. The next screen is the "Determine Eligibility" screen, where you select the state where you want to get the vaccine. Answer the "confirm eligibility" questions on the next screen. On the next screen hit "start scheduling", which takes you to the screen where you enter your zip code. Enter your zip code and wait until the stroke of midnight, At midnight on the dot, click search . Once you select your dates and times for the first and second shots, you have 30 minutes to enter all of the additional information. If you have health / prescription insurance, have your insurance cards handy.

The other key time for getting CVS appointment seems to be between 3 am and 6 am.

I suggest that you visit the CVS website and move through the pages to practice before it is time to make your appointment,

The problem is the federal govt and vaccine dose allocation.
