Organizations will be able to request a coronavirus vaccine clinic for their groups through a partnership between the D.C. Health Department and the central technology office.
Through the Vaccine Exchange Program, faith- and community-based organizations, as well as D.C. employers, can submit requests for a vaccine clinic, and vaccine providers would be able to accept those requests and schedule clinics. It’s a program launched by DC Health and the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.
“This public-private partnership allows the District to help meet the demand of employers looking for ways to protect their workers from COVID-19 and its devastating results,” Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, DC Health’s director, said in a statement.
The mural on Black Lives Matter Plaza on 16th Street NW has been paved over due to utility work, but officials plan to repaint it and make it a permanent fixture. When it does, the street will reopen to two-way traffic to accomodate access for hotels; pedestrians will be confined to a 14-foot walkway in the middle.
