The first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in D.C. was administered on this day last year. Local public health and community leaders reflect on what has — and has not — been achieved so far.

Schools would have to start enforcing the mandate in the 2022-2023 academic year.

Under the mandate, D.C. Council employees who do not provide proof of vaccination by Oct. 31 could face losing their job.

The incident affects some residents who were vaccinated at the Fort Stanton Recreation Center earlier this month.

A pair of D.C. firefighters have launched a campaign opposing the vaccine mandate, though the union representing firefighters remains noncommittal on the issue.

Eight members of the D.C. Council are asking Mayor Muriel Bowser to do away with employees’ option to submit to weekly coronavirus testing instead of getting a shot.

Employees at these facilities who don’t get vaccinated will be required to get tested for COVID-19 weekly.

Just 45% of Metro’s more than 12,000 workers are fully vaccinated.

Infections caused by the Delta variant of the coronavirus likely make up about 31.4% of the infections in the Mid-Atlantic region, according to estimates from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.

A business may still require customers and employees to wear masks.
