D.C. will open 11 new walk-up COVID-19 vaccine sites across the District on Saturday, after health officials said the city has reached an “equilibrium” in the supply and demand for the vaccine.

The clinics will not require an appointment and will be located at:

• Arena Stage, 1101 6th St. SW
• Fort Stanton Recreation Center, 1812 Erie St. SE
• Kenilworth Recreation Center, 4321 Ord St. NE
• Lamond Recreation Center, 20 Tuckerman St. NE
• Langdon Park Community Center, 2901 20th St. NE
• Providence Health System, 1150 Varnum St. NE
• Rosedale Recreation Center, 1701 Gales St. NE
• Turkey Thicket Recreation Center, 1100 Michigan Ave. NE
• University of the District of Columbia, 4200 Connecticut Ave. NW
• Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mt Vernon Pl. NW
• (May 1 only) Entertainment and Sports Arena, 1100 Oak St. SE
• (After May 1) RISE Demonstration Center, 2730 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE

Some sites will be able to administer hundreds of doses a day while others will be able to dole out thousands of doses.

Days, hours, and available vaccines will be listed on vaccinefinder.org. Residents do not need to bring ID or have insurance to get vaccinated, but presenting an insurance card will help reimburse some of the cost to the District. The vaccine is free for everyone.

The walk-up sites are only for residents 18 and older and will primarily administer first doses. During a call with the D.C. Council on Friday, Dr. Ankoor Shah, who heads the city’s vaccination program, said that walk-up clinics have been instructed to also provide second doses if an individual received their first dose from a different provider, but he noted that this may depend on the walk-up site’s vaccine capacity and the demand for first doses.

Staff will schedule second dose appointments for the same location after a resident has received their first dose. Residents who want a scheduled appointment, can register online with pharmacies, like CVS and Walgreens. Residents who are 16 or 17 years old can get vaccinated through Children’s National Hospital by registering at childrensnational.org.

“Vaccination is becoming easier and easier,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said.

The District has so far partially or fully vaccinated 237,354 D.C. residents, Bowser said, adding “there are a lot of people who still need to be vaccinated.”

Bowser and D.C. Health Director LaQuandra Nesbitt also announced that the District will stop accepting pre-registrations for the coronavirus vaccine on Wednesday. The system still will send out appointment invitations for those who pre-registered already.

Nesbitt says D.C. was able to move quickly through most of the people who pre-registered through the system, which allowed officials to open the walk-up sites. Nesbitt added that the supply of and demand for the vaccine is almost equal right now, but could still tip either way.

She encouraged residents to talk to neighbors and friends about getting vaccinated, particularly with the arrival of more accessible shots. She suggested having potentially tough conversations, even telling friends and relatives, “I won’t hang out until you’re vaccinated.”

“We need that chorus to get even louder … of grassroots folks, of neighbors telling neighbors ‘this is the benefit of getting vaccinated. I did it. You should do it, too,'” Nesbitt said. “It’s going to help our community move along.”

On Saturday, the District is asking volunteers to help go door-to-door to get the word out about the vaccine.

Bowser says the spread of the virus has slowed and that the daily case rate metrics are all out of “red” category now. D.C. has maintained a community spread metric within the “moderate” zone since last week, which marked the first time in months that the city had dipped out of the “substantial” zone.

“Thank you for all that you’re doing to adhere to health guidance and to get vaccinated because it is making a difference,” Bowser said.

The mayor also announced loosened pandemic restrictions starting Saturday. Bowser said she hopes to further relax coronavirus restrictions by July 4th if the positive trends continue.

Bowser added that the city is moderating coronavirus restrictions “where they’re warranted and safe,” but echoed the need to get residents vaccinated in order to get closer to a return to normal.

“The way we get open is to crush the virus and to get people vaccinated,” she said.

This post has been updated to reflect that the walk-up sites may also provide second doses to residents who received a first dose elsewhere.
