As the federal government promises that every American adult who wants to be vaccinated can receive at least a first dose by May, Virginia is making plans for additional shots coming its way.
Health districts across the state will administer an estimated 69,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine starting Friday at mass vaccination clinics, where as many as 5,000 people can be inoculated in one day, said Dr. Danny Avula, the stateâs vaccine coordinator.
âWe are full throttle moving ahead,â he said on Wednesday.
The Rappahannock Area Health District, which includes Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford, is planning a large drive-thru clinic next week, but hasnât announced the time or site. Health officials will contact those whoâve already registered, and no one will be vaccinated without an appointment.
