Free flu shots will be administered at the Foggy Bottom metrorail station on Thursday. WTOP Radio and George Washington University Medical Center are sponsoring the distribution of the free shots.

We’re assuming that the flu shots will be administered on street level next to the escalators, which will have them competing against Express distributor hawks for customers. So watch out for public health, public transit gridlock on 23rd Street.

If you’re interested in a free shot, come early as the distribution is first-come, first-served.
