ROANOKE, Va. – The effort to vaccinate Virginians against COVID-19 reached a new level on Monday, but there will be some preferential treatment on who gets the shot first.
Phase 1B of Virginia’s vaccination strategy includes people older than 75 and frontline workers, such as first responders and educators. Roanoke City and Alleghany health districts Director Dr. Cynthia Morrow said the latter group will be prioritized in the distribution.
“We won’t be able to get the vaccine into everyone’s arms overnight,” Morrow said. “First responders don’t have the option of staying home, so if you’re 75 or older and you can stay home and be safe, please continue to do so.”
