D.C. residents and essential workers will be able to preregister for COVID-19 vaccine appointments starting Wednesday.
Only certain groups are being asked to preregister, and even once you’re preregistered, it could be months until you get an appointment. Download our NBC Washington app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday that the old portal system that crashed for weeks as people tried to get appointments will no longer be used. Residents and essential workers will go to a new website instead. The system will be open initially to residents 65 and older, people with qualifying medical conditions and essential workers. If you’re not part of one of those groups, don’t sign up yet; that could slow down the system for everyone else, the mayor said.
