Individuals entering the perimeter may be subject to screening and asked what their essential purpose
within the inauguration perimeter is. If you need to be within the inauguration perimeter,
be prepared to provide proof of your reason. This is similar to previous inaugurations — except the
inauguration perimeter will be established and operational for several days.

VACCINEUPDATES
YOU MUST HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE VACCINE.
Go to vaccinate.dc.gov to register to receive an alert from DC Health when more appointments become available.
To reduce crowds and minimize exposure to the virus, do NOT go to a vaccination
site without an appointment.
We are making appointments available as the District receives doses from the
federal government.

Because of high demand as well as DC Health’s success in getting the vaccine out to those who are eligible, the District is calling on Operation Warp Speed to increase DC’s
vaccine allotment.
12 In Washington, DC, we nearly doubled our vaccine burn rate last week from the week before.
