[Lincolnparkdc] WOW! Beginning april 19 -walk-up vaccines for people 65 and older, and 20003 is a priority zone

[Diana Quinn]

I HOPE that everyone on this list 65 and older are already vaccinated, but
if you haven't gotten your jab yet (er um you know who you are), here is
some good news from Mayor Bowser:
You really should pre-register --  it's easy to do and you will be in the
system when you show up. Your insurance will likely be Medicare Red and
Blue.  Happy Days!

Mayor Bowser Announces New Walk-Up Vaccination Sites for DC Residents 65
and Older. <https://nextdoor.com/p/tpzybgJggS3_?view=detail>Greetings
Neighbors: Today, Mayor Bowser and DC Health, led by Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt,
announced that beginning Monday, April 19, DC residents who are 65 and
older will be able to get vaccinated without an appointment at walk-up
sites across DC. Each site, which will administer either the two-dose
Pfizer vaccine or the two-dose Moderna vaccine, will be able to accommodate
up to 30 walk-in appointments each day. Residents 65 and older can walk up
during the days and times listed below while appointments last. The
appointments at the Bald Eagle Recreation Center are limited to residents
from Wards 7 and 8 and are open to any resident from those two wards who is
18 or older. Ward 2 Walter E. Washington Convention Center 801 Mt Vernon Pl

p.m. On Monday, April 12, all DC residents 16 and older became eligible to
receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Washington, DC. To ensure that DC is able
to get the vaccine out as efficiently as possible, the Mayor is calling on
all DC residents to pre-register for a vaccination appointment by going to
vaccinate.dc.gov or calling 1-855-363-0333. Since the pre-registration
system launched, approximately 92,120 individuals have already
pre-registered, received an invitation, and booked an appointment. To date,
approximately 119,791 individuals have pre-registered for and are awaiting
an appointment. Earlier this week, Mayor Bowser called on residents of DC,
Maryland, and Virginia to pre-register for a vaccination appointment in the
state in which they live: • DC residents are encouraged to pre-register in
DC at vaccinate.dc.gov or by calling 1-855-363-0333 • Maryland residents
are encouraged to pre-register in Maryland at covidvax.maryland.gov or by
calling 1-855-634-6829 • Virginia residents are encouraged to pre-register
in Virginia at vaccinate.virginia.gov or by calling 877-829-4682
Individuals who previously pre-registered for an appointment through the
portal and who have already received their vaccination elsewhere can email
vaccinatedc at dc.gov or call 1-855-363-0333 to have their information removed
from the pre-registration list. Eligible DC residents are also reminded of
other ways to make an appointment, including: • Directly through their
health care provider • Veterans and veteran spouses can get vaccinated
through the VA Medical Center and can learn more by calling (202) 745-4342
• DC residents 65 and older, teachers and school staff, child care workers,
and health care workers can book appointments through the CVS site (when
appointments are available) With the new pre-registration system,
individuals can register online at any time on any day via vaccinate.dc.gov,
or register by phone by calling the call center at 1-855-363-0333,
Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. or on Saturday and Sunday from
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Language translation services are available through
the call center. Call center staff are also able to take calls from 711, a
free video relay service from the FCC that allows individuals to sign with
a hearing interpreter who is then talking on the phone with a call taker.
Each week, invitations are sent: • Thursdays by 10:00 a.m. • Sundays by
10:00 a.m. • And, only if any appointments still need to be filled,
Tuesdays by 10:00 a.m. Anyone who registers by 11:59 p.m. tonight and who
is currently eligible for the vaccine in DC will be part of the randomized
selection process tomorrow morning. Once invitations go out, individuals
have 48 hours to book their appointment. If an individual does not book
their appointment, their name will go back in the pre-registration system
(after three unanswered invitations an individual will need to register in
the system again). The current list of priority zip codes includes: 20010,
20011, 20017, 20018, 20002, 20003, 20019, 20020, 20032, 20422 and 20593.
Priority zip codes are determined by identifying areas where residents have
been disproportionately burdened by COVID-19 and areas that are lagging in
COVID-19 vaccination coverage.
