“Vaccine Clinic Tip – Try GW!” and some Testing Tips

By Prince Of Petworth

Published December 16, 2021 at 10:05AM

Thanks to Allison for sending: “I just wanted to share that I had a super easy time getting my Pfizer booster through GW! You can pre-register online, however they easily accommodate walk-ins.

I was checked-in immediately around 9:45 and boosted right after, then out the door after the 15min safety period!

I had previously tried to book a booster online via One Medical (no appointments) and CVS/Walgreens (two-week lead time) so just wanted to spread the news since it may be a bit more efficiently run than a city site.

Thanks and happy holidays!”

Regarding testing other readers write:

“FYI I got an exposure alert so I tried to get tested at the Sherman Ave nw firehouse and they said they ran out of their tests today and yesterday so it seems like testing demand is way back up. Don’t run up right at 7:30 like I just tried to if you need one!

Might want to let folks know the demand is way up! Guessing a mix of omicron + holiday travel”

“Just wanted to make sure people are aware of Curative testing sites since they’re not on the DC testing website but they have a ton of appointments available, including same day at a bunch of them. I went yesterday at 1 and they were super friendly and I got my results back already at 6:30 this morning. Thanks!”
