The District of Columbia is the butt of jokes after releasing a graphic encouraging people to get their vaccine shots, The Washingtonian reported.

The graphic shows a virus, resembling the coronavirus, replacing the “o” in the word “shot”.

Graphic design does not appear to be DC’s passion. https://t.co/7f93YIHXqG

Many Twitter users are having a field day with the graphic, suggesting that the virus used to replace the word “o” resembles the censored version of the word “shit.”

D.C. officials unveiled the graphic Monday after announcing that vaccination centers will transition from appointment only to walk-ins in May, and restrictions on restaurants and events in the city will be loosened.
