“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping I’d find something about current vaccine availability (or lack thereof) in D.C., as I pre-registered with the D.C. government many weeks ago and I still haven’t heard anything from them since the April 12 public availability date. I’m not seeing much in local news stories either, so I’m wondering if it’s just me. Are you hearing anything about people actually getting scheduled for appointments in the last week?”
For those who’ve gotten vaccinated – did you get it through the DC registration portal or other ways like the one below?
Another reader passes on from their Federal office: “Thursday and Friday of this week, you can obtain a COVID-19 vaccination with no appt needed/walk-up at the Museum of Natural History on 10th and Constitution Ave. This opportunity applies to all federal employees and contractors.”
UPDATE from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “This site provides COVID-19 vaccinations to federal essential critical infrastructure workers whose job responsibilities put them at greater risk from the pandemic.
Agencies identified employees as essential critical infrastructure workers eligible to receive a vaccine at this time based on job duties and CISA’s Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19 Response.
Other civilian Federal employees should make an appointment to receive their vaccinations in their state or local jurisdictions as eligibility has expanded to all Americans 16+ as of Monday!”
