wait times for DC

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to strategize how best to manage the long line with two small kids. Are you finding that the lines get longer or shorter during the course of the day/afternoon? thanks for any tips.

At least last Saturday, the wait time got shorter as the day went on. It was a 45 min wait at Coolidge at 8 AM, and there was no wait by lunchtime. Unclear if that will hold true this Sat but my guess is that it would -- this Sat. is Halloween, too, so many people will be going to Halloween events (parades, parties, etc.) or getting ready for trick or treating by later in the day.

went to a 5-9 clinic last night. Got there at 5 and was out by 6. But when left no line at all. Should have gone at 6.

Thanks for previous post--plan on going to Wilson tomorrow night for clinic and was wondering what time would be best. Looks like after 6 it will be. thanks

Agree with 12:04. At Wilson on Sat the wait was 2 hours at 10am, no longer than it took to fill out the forms at 3.

i suspect the clinics on saturday will be even quicker since it's halloween...

The later you go, the better. However, they may no longer have the low-dose Novartis shots.

We went at 3:30 (major procrastination) last Saturday to Mckinley Tech, it was a DREAM. Absolutely no one in the auditorium at all and no wait. Only took 15 minutes. My well-organized friends waited for 5 hours in Fairfax starting at 6 am.
