DC Health began booking COVID-19 vaccination appointments for residents 65 and older on Monday. It took less than 24 hours for all 6,700 available appointments this week to fill up. The department is now advising residents to sign up for email and text message alerts at vaccinate.dc.gov to learn when they should revisit the website or call (855) 363-0333 to book an appointment if they weren’t able to do so on the first day of sign-ups.
