Covid-19 Vaccine Information
A COVID-19 vaccine is not yet available to the general public, but is being distributed to the front line health care workers at this time. As a vaccine becomes available to the general public, the GW Medical Enterprise (incl. the GW Medical Faculty Associates, the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the GW Hospital) will provide up-to-date information on the vaccine.
