More people across Hampton Roads will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine starting this week, officials say.
The Hampton and Peninsula Health District on Friday will begin Phase 1b of its vaccination rollout for frontline workers and people who are 75 or older or live in congregate settings.
Next week, the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Western Tidewater health districts will also start Phase 1b for frontline essential workers — like grocery store and public transit employees — anyone 65 or older and people between 16 and 64 years old with high-risk medical conditions.
Virginia Beach officials say residents in the 1b group can begin pre-registering on Monday to receive vaccines through a new online portal. Norfolk residents can pre-register here.
