[NFBSF] Accessibility of Covid-19 Testing and Vaccine Appointments

[Lisa Irving]

 I was only able to receive my first vaccine because I was given a phone number not widely publicized you’re in Marin County. I made attempts to use the my turn website. Aspects of the website were not accessible. I attempted to book my appointment through the my an 800 number. Because I had been on the website I was very aware that that all of the questions were being read accurately. Happy to help.

All,



Our legal program is investigating the accessibility of websites involving
Covid-19 testing and vaccine appointments.  I am specifically looking for
blind NFB members who have a need to obtain Covid-19 testing in the greater
San Francisco Bay Area  or will likely have a need in the coming year.  I am
also specifically looking for blind members who want to book vaccine
appointments within the greater San Francisco Bay Area.  Please email
