As COVID-19 vaccine rollouts progress throughout Virginia, many students have begun to search for ways to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.Â
As of April 2, the Central Shenandoah Health District has moved into Phase 1C of the vaccine rollout process. Prior to this, the health district had been in Phase 1B since Jan. 18. Phase 1B included frontline essential workers, people between the ages of 16 and 64 with underlying health conditions, adults 65 and older and those who live in homeless shelters, migrant camps or correctional facilities. Phase 1C allows essential workers not included in phase 1B to be vaccinated.Â
For the majority of students, this means they didnât qualify to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Harrisonburg until recently.Â
