WASHINGTON - This might make Canadians jealous of their American cousins for the first time in a while: the lineup Friday outside a downtown Washington D.C. Apple Store was longer than at one of the city's largest COVID-19 mass-vaccination sites.
Getting the shot at the nearby Walter E. Washington Convention Center â all D.C. residents over 16 are now eligible â took people only about 20 minutes, with some recipients displaying their 'I Got Vaccinated' stickers or telltale Band-Aids as they emerged.
