Where will you be getting your boosters? Pharmacy/CVS? Doctor’s office? When do you plan on getting one/them?
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and DC Health are encouraging District residents to protect themselves, their families, and the community from respiratory illnesses by receiving new and existing vaccines and boosters for COVID-19, RSV, and the flu.
- Updated COVID-19 Booster: This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved a new COVID-19 booster for everyone 6 months or older. These boosters will become widely available through healthcare providers and pharmacies within the next two weeks. The new booster has been shown to be effective against many of the currently circulating variants by providing significant protections against severe COVID-19 hospitalization. Find sites with the updated COVID-19 booster at vaccines.gov.
- RSV Vaccine: According to the CDC, every year, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) leads to approximately 60,000-120,000 hospitalizations and 6,000-10,000 deaths in the U.S. among adults 65 years of age or older. A new RSV vaccine has been approved for individuals 60 or older and is now available through healthcare providers and, for people who have a prescription, at pharmacies. DC Health is currently working to allow the RSV vaccine to be available at pharmacies without a prescription.
A monoclonal RSV preventative treatment is also available for certain high risk children 24 months and younger; families and caregivers should consult with their child’s health care provider.
- Flu Vaccine: The annual flu vaccine is now widely available through healthcare providers and pharmacies. The flu vaccine is for individuals 6 months or older. Find sites with the flu vaccine at vaccines.gov.
Proactively receiving your recommended boosters and vaccinations can dramatically reduce respiratory illness across the District and protect the health of our families, friends, and communities. “

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
