DC Nightlife and Hospitality Community,
Mayor Bowser announced a new vaccine requirement going in effect January 15, 2022 to help us combat the winter surge of COVID-19. Learn more at vaxdc.dc.gov. There will also be more guidance in the coming days. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through this together! If you have any questions please email us at nightlife@dc.gov. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Solana Vander Nat
Director, Mayor’s Office of Nightlife and Culture (MONC)

 Beginning January 15, 2022, businesses shall display a notice informing patrons that proof of vaccination is required to enter any indoor portion of a covered location. Sample advisory notices are available for download at vaxdc.dc.gov.
