WASHINGTON — DC Health is holding a weeklong vaccination clinic to ensure children are up-to-date on their required vaccinations.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the site of the Ward 7 COVID Center located on Minnesota Avenue NE from October 11-October 16, 2022 to get their required immunizations before safely returning to school.

The clinic, held in partnership with Safeway, will operate during the week that elementary school students, who have not received all their vaccines, will be excluded from school.
