Sites that receive vaccine doses might not start administering them the same day they receive them for a “number of reasons,” Miss Bowser told reporters Monday. She noted that officials don’t know what the next shipments of the vaccine will look like and how much the city will receive for future distribution.
D.C. Health Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt said Monday that the District is working with Virginia to obtain more vaccines next week for those who reside in Northern Virginia and work in the city. She anticipates receiving about 8,000 more doses from the state and said the city is discussing with Maryland about obtaining more doses.
