In case you are 65+ and didn't already get this. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6B05@...> Date: Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 5:14 PM Subject: Please Read: Any Resident 65 or older who pre-registers by midnight tonight has a very good chance to get a vaccine appointment next week To: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6B05@...>
Neighbors,
?
Any DC resident 65 years or older, if they pre-register NOW, has a very good chance of getting a confirmed vaccination appointment invitation tomorrow morning.
The primary message I want to send is that all residents in the 65 yrs of age or older category, if they haven't gotten a vaccine or already pre-registered should consider seriously doing so now. TODAY before midnight.
If you are not 65 or older, but you have
a friend or neighbor in this neighborhood or know someone anywhere in the city,
in this category...please reach out and call them or send them an email to pre-register NOW.? It's easy and takes 5 minutes
to do so.
Online Registration Site:? ?
Call center: 1-855-363-0333
As of 8pm last night:?
As you can see, at current numbers, every resident who registered in this category will get an appointment tomorrow. There are more people who have registered or will register today.?
However, the numbers from yesterday seem likely to be a good proportion of the total registered by this evening.?
Even if the same number register today, that would still give anyone in this category a 50% chance of getting invited for an appointment tomorrow morning.
The point is if you are 65 or over and you pre-register before midnight tonight, you have a very high likelihood of getting an immediate opportunity tomorrow morning to reliably get a confirmed vaccination appointment booked now.
NOTE: DC Health says that it will try to accommodate Senior residents in this process who need an appointment in their community. Not feeling capable to have to go far for a vaccine is not a reason to delay pre-registering.
In addition, by 8pm last night, another 1379 residents pre-registered in the category of 65 plus residing in priority zip codes. There are another 2700 appointments reserved for booking tomorrow morning in this category. Do the numbers.
There are other items of interest in today's Mayor's Update, I'll touch on these tomorrow. For now, this is the topic of urgent interest.
Here is a link to the written presentation of the Update:?
