Health care workers from Inova Loudoun Hospital and StoneSprings Hospital Center started receiving vaccines Tuesday and Wednesday, marking a momentous milestone in the countyâs fight against the spread of the coronavirus.
Medical personnel and residents in long-term care facilities in Loudoun County will be the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine tested and produced by Pfizer-BioTech. Some workers at Inova Loudoun Hospital received the vaccine on Tuesday, but Wednesday was the first official day for the rollout of the vaccine to health care workers in Loudoun. Hospital officials weren t saying exactly where the vaccines where being given to the frontline workers.
The first wave of COVID-19 vaccines are being administered in Northern Virginia, with hospitals and public health departments working to vaccinate as many frontline health care workers as possible before the end of the month.
Novantâs Prince William Medical Center in Manassas administered its first doses of Pfizerâs vaccine Wednesday to a number of critical care staff in what was described as a âdry runâ before opening a clinic for hospital staff to be vaccinated Thursday.Â
Michelle Strider, chief quality officer at Novant Health UVA Health System, which owns Prince William Medical Center, said Tuesday, when the hospital received its first doses, was âa historic day.â
