Vaccination is our best way out of this pandemic and back toward normal life,” said Dr. Karen Shelton, health district director. Mount Rogers includes the City of Galax and Carroll and Grayson counties. “It is important to note that Pfizer is the only vaccine approved for 16- and 17-year-olds,” Shelton said. “Parents of 16- and 17-year-olds should check with the vaccine provider in order to ensure they register in an appropriate clinic. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are both approved for those 18 and older.”

On Monday, Breanne Forbes Hubbard of the Mount Rogers Health District confirmed that vaccine allocations for the expanded groups have not yet been received. “Mount Rogers Health District has not received any additional vaccine allocation for those [ages] 65-74 or those 16-64 with underlying health conditions. Community partners also did not receive additional vaccine allocation for this group, and some community partners did not receive additional vaccine allocation at all for this week, which limits appointment availability,” Hubbard said.
