As the Senate narrowly approved a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, one of three new high-capacity vaccination sites in the District opened its doors Saturday at the Walter Washington Convention Center.
The high-capacity vaccine sites will offer the Johnson & Johnson shot, which only requires one dose. Download our NBC Washington app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather.
