“DC has got to do something different with this vaccination portal. Who is being held accountable for this ongoing failure?!”

“Captcha not working on DC vaccination website. Keeps telling me it’s incorrect when it isn’t. Happened three times now.”

Well That Didn’t Go Well

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to all who’ve messaged us:

“I’m eligible for the vaccine based on zip code, health and occupation, so of course I clicked to register at exactly 9am today.

At the end, I got a message saying “Thank you, […] registration is only open for those 65 and older”. No appointment, no find a location page.

Updated response from a reader: “Thank you for contacting DC Health. We are aware of the technological error and are working diligently to resolve it. At this time, please continue to monitor the website and book your appointment via https://vaccinateqa.dc.gov/”
