Does anyone remember when boosters came out last year? Was it August or September?

Seeing how as DC has the highest incidence per capita, and is now offering a vaccine, I was thinking it might be interesting to know how many people actually went to try to get a vaccine and if they were able to get one or got turned away or what the lines were like etc.“
From the Mayor’s Office:
“DC Health announced that beginning Friday, August 5, the three DC Health monkeypox vaccination clinics will begin offering limited walk-up vaccinations for eligible residents on Fridays, pending vaccine availability.
