Coronavirus Update: Ward 3's Walk-Up Vaccination Site

Dear Neighbors,

Tomorrow, May 1st, the District is launching eleven free walk-up
vaccination clinics across the District. Ward 3's walk-up vaccination site
is the former Walgreens located at [1]4225 Connecticut Ave in the Forest
Hills neighborhood. This vaccination site, which sits on University of the
District of Columbia (UDC) property, is right outside the Van Ness Metro
and is serviced by multiple nearby bus lines. After having advocated for a
UDC-based vaccination site for some time now, I am particularly grateful to
Mayor Bowser and the team at DC Health for answering the community's call
for more accessible vaccination opportunities in Ward 3.

Here are some important updates to keep in mind:

UDC Vaccination Site Schedule – The UDC walk-up vaccination site is
distributing the Moderna vaccine. For its first day of operation, May 1st,
the site will operate from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Afterward, this site will
shift to a 9:00 am to 2:00 pm schedule and will open on select days in May
(May 5th, 6th, 12th, 14th, 19th, and the 20th).

If You Received Your First Dose Out of State - Residents who received their
first vaccine dose in another jurisdiction will be able to receive their
second dose at the District's walk-up clinics. Availability may vary day to
day, so please note which sites are distributing your particular vaccine by
checking the walk-up site schedule (linked [2]here and posted below).

For Our Homebound Neighbors - The District has launched an at-home
vaccination program for our homebound neighbors and initial feedback on the
program has been very positive! Please help spread the news to your family,
friends, and neighbors that homebound residents may schedule an at-home
vaccination appointment by calling 1-855-363-0333.

To date, 64% of Ward 3 seniors and 26% of all eligible Ward 3 residents are
vaccinated. District-wide, about 34% of residents are fully or partially
vaccinated. By shifting away from the pre-registration portal system and
instead opening numerous walk-up clinics, I am hopeful that we will see
even more progress in our immunization efforts and an increase in equitable
vaccine access across the District. And, if you would like to help share
vaccination information and encourage others to make a vaccination plan,
please join [3]Serve DC and the COVID-19 Community Corps for this weekend's
door-to-door Day of Action event (details: [4]here).

Regards,

Mary
