D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Monday new COVID-19 vaccine requirements for adults who are regularly in schools and child care facilities and for student-athletes.
All adults who are regularly in schools and child care centers — such as teachers, principals, coaches, librarians, social workers and school bus drivers — must be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Nov. 1.
The policy applies to all D.C. public schools, public charter schools, private schools, parochial schools and child care facilities regulated by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.
There is no option for testing out.
City officials also said all student-athletes aged 12 and older must get inoculated after Nov. 1 and before Dec. 13 to participate in school-based sports.
