[quote=Anonymous]This week, the District will continue to use the vaccinate.dc.gov appointment portal and call center. DC Health and the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) have been working with Microsoft to ensure a better user experience. Improvements include increased server availability for the portal and the addition of a “waiting room” that will only allow 3,000 users to access the appointment questionnaire at a time. Additionally, to improve the user experience and increase accessibility, this week, the CAPTCHA has been removed from the vaccinate.dc.gov questionnaire.

Appointments will open at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday and Friday for DC residents. Just for this week, vaccine appointments will not open to members of eligible workforce groups.

On Thursday, March 4 at 9:00 a.m., approximately 5,750 appointments will open to the following DC residents who live in priority zip codes:

DC residents who live in priority zip codes and are 65 and older
DC residents who live in priority zip codes and are 18-64 with a qualifying medical condition

On Friday, March 5 at 9:00 a.m., approximately 5,750 appointments will open to the following DC residents in any zip code:

DC residents 65 and older
DC residents 18-64 with a qualifying medical condition

Residents can expect to see several new vaccination sites listed on the portal this week. These new locations will serve as high-capacity sites where the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine will be administered. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is the third safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine to be approved for use in the United States. While users will be able to see when choosing a vaccination site which vaccine will be administered there, DC Health is emphasizing that all available vaccines have been proven effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Residents are highly encouraged to take the first vaccine available to them.[/quote]
