WASHINGTON - Residents of the region expressed new frustrations Monday over how to get the coronavirus vaccine as the pool of eligible recipients grew and the available supply was far outstripped by demand.
More than 1,400 new appointments for senior citizens in the District of Columbia were snapped up in 25 minutes, city officials said, while people who were newly eligible in Maryland and parts of Virginia also struggled to get appointments.
