Is it OK to try to get my kids a 2nd dose today in DC if we're not DC residents?

My kids were fortunate enough to get the H1N1 mist 28 days ago at a DC clinic. (I commend DC for doing such a good job. Seems like Montgomery County is not able to get it out as quickly.) When we went to Cordozo high school 28 days ago, they did not ask if we were DC residents. (We live in Bethesda.) Now I notice on the DC web site that they refer to DC residents only (and they don't mention anything about whether it's OK to try for a 2nd dose, given that so many kids have not yet received the 1st dose.) Do you think it's worth trying to go to one of the DC clinics today? Or should I wait it out for Montgomery County? I welcome any recent experiences (since it seems like DC only recently added the words "DC residents" to their web site?) Thank you.

I recently went to the Cardozo clinic and they didn't care that I live in Bethesda. Also I don't remember anyone asking if this was my sons 1st or 2nd dose...I'd go if I were you.

I was told at one o the early DC clinics that they are open to all. Given how limited availability is elsewhere, I think it's worth a trip.

were there dc clinics 28 days ago? my son got a shot the first week (on october 20th) and it's on 25 days now.

Are you sure it was 28 days ago? I didn't think DC was giving shots that early.

Doesn't matter -- shots can be given again 21 days or later.
