The Justice Department today announced that it has secured a settlement agreement<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAxMjguNTI1NDM5NzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hZGEuZ292L2tyb2dlcl9jb19zYS5wZGYifQ.CGbCwwaYlKby2e5BXFJs7zjsdFdOkkkZSbNwRkUDqy8/s/6556102/br/125823574777-l> with The Kroger Co. that will help people with disabilities get information about COVID-19 vaccinations and book their vaccination appointments online. The agreement, which requires Kroger to conform its COVID-19 vaccine content to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.1, will help ensure that individuals with disabilities who use screen readers can privately and independently book their potentially life-saving vaccination appointments online. Today’s resolution is the department’s third agreement on the critical issue of COVID-19 vaccination website accessibility, following a November 2021 announcement of its settlement with Rite Aid Corporation<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAxMjguNTI1NDM5NzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hZGEuZ292L3JpdGVfYWlkX3NhLnBkZiJ9.03NHGCBcwaWluuS1vxdmSqJkciY1079NkjxSU510IE8/s/6556102/br/125823574777-l> and a December 2021 settlement with Hy-Vee, Inc<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjAxMjguNTI1NDM5NzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hZGEuZ292L2h5LXZlZV9zYS5wZGYifQ.4ylcC_tfAIhZTZp7VrMgp9ckJOqCgWeu29dBi9x9Jtk/s/6556102/br/125823574777-l>.
