“Dear PoPville,
What vaccine locations have extra doses at the end of the day to wait for? Has anyone had success? I am in the later stages and traveling soon. Would love to try to get a vaccine– if I’m not called by DC Health yet. I already pre-registered.”
and “I was wondering if you’ve heard of any pharmacies or places in DC where you can go to to check and see if they have excess vaccines. I am in the food service group but haven’t been called yet.”
Another reader reports: “DC residents can get shots in MD/VA
In reading many posts I can tell a lot of people in the District are unaware that they can sign up for the vaccine in MD or VA if they are eligible.
Chain pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc. don’t care if you are a resident in the state you are getting the vaccine.
Essential workers and people with underlying health conditions should check both Maryland and VA eligibility. Facebook groups Maryland Vaccine Hunters and NoVA Vaccine Hunters are God sends in providing information on getting appointments. So is this vaccine spotter. I am now up to 30+ in helping people get an appointment.”
