“In the midst of the ongoing global pandemic, people with vision impairments must be able to access information about how and where to obtain COVID-19 vaccinations,” Acting United States Attorney Jacquelyn Kasulis said in a press release.
The announcement follows a Department of Justice investigation into the matter inspired by a Feb. 25 Kaiser Health Network story detailing the violation of federal, state and local level disability rights laws on COVID-19 vaccination websites.
The agreements state the agencies have corrected issues that prevent blind or visually impaired users from accessing forms or navigating vaccination-related websites.
The agencies also pledged to maintain accessibility on those sites.
