[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The District government has already said the school-based clinics will be first-come, first-served, and that they won't require you to be affiliated with the schools at all. The only thing I wish they'd post is the time.[/b]

I called some of the independent pharmacies listed as sites for the vaccine in D.C., all of which said they couldn't make more firm plans for appointments, etc., until they actually had the vaccine shipment in hand. Which makes some sense! It does not actually seem like it's going to be hard to get a shot next week for anyone who wants one; it may just be hard to confirm all the details of it today.

I agree that "I must book the appointment the first day after the shots are approved" is an unreasonable standard, especially if the outcome -- you get one of the first shots available -- is the same as if you booked the appointment later.[/quote]

This is what was said in a councilmember newsletter last week. I'm planning on getting my child to one of the locations around 4:00 PM, unless we get information instructing otherwise. Not worth messing with the pharmacy appointment systems when the city IS going to make the shots easily available in the next two weeks.

[/i]Details on the hours, documents needed, and other information about these clinics will be announced soon. [...] Most of the pop-up vaccine sites will be first come, first serve. However, a smaller number will require appointments. DC Health plans to require that a parent or guardian accompany the child being vaccinated. These clinics will be held outside of school hours, and it is likely that more will be added.[i][/quote]
