D.C. will open new COVID-19 vaccine clinics for residents ages 12 to 18 at six public schools, the city said Wednesday.
It’s part of an effort to provide more targeted vaccination opportunities starting July 17, when the city will close its high-capacity walk-up vaccination sites.
The announcement comes as the city is working to get more young people vaccinated. Data provided to the D.C. Council last week revealed disparities in vaccination status among eligible students across the city.
The public school clinics are open to all younger residents, not just students.
