My 2 cents has always been it’s really up to the business. The business should do what it needs to maximize profit. If catering to the 0.3% of people who are vision impaired helps to that end, go for it. In this case, the 99.7% of people who can use the site are the target audience — and that’s good enough.
I’m not at all unsympathetic to the blind. I just think it’s a client problem and needs a client side solution.
I have severe allergies, ones where I could die if I ingest very little of multiple common foods. I NEVER expect a restaurant to cater to me as adjusting to my diet would put them at a competitive disadvantage. It’s expensive, time consuming and it’s a minuscule percentage of their customers.
Instead I carry an epipen and use my judgement or am responsible for myself. Sometimes that means I call ahead, don’t eat, w.e.
In this case, I’m sure the blind individuals can figure out how to get a vaccine. I’m sure their doctors will help and provide guidance. I doubt most of my friends and family got their vaccines without even knowing this site exists.

- pseudalopex 5y agoLaws matter more than your 2 cents. And governments aren't businesses. Accessible web sites exist. It isn't a client problem. You are at least a bit unsympathetic.
