Natalie drove more than 100 miles on March 25 to get a COVID-19 vaccine at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where Gov.
Larry Hogan’s administration set up a mass vaccination site. Traveling that far, she says, made sense because she figured she’d never get the COVID-19 vaccine in D.C., where she’s lived for the last three years.
The National Guard welcomed Natalie when she arrived at the arena in Salisbury, Maryland. They checked if she had an appointment (she did), and requested to see some form of photo identification (which she had). She showed her D.C.-issued ID, which lists her address in Ivy City, a handful of times before she got the jab, but says no one at the vaccine site asked her about it.
