NORTHERN VIRGINIA Leaders are pushing for more COVID-19 vaccine doses and a mass vaccination site in Northern Virginia.
Local health districts in Northern Virginia have seen more people requesting appointments than available doses. For instance, the Fairfax Health District reports over 156,000 residents have preregistered and are eligible in phases 1a and 1b. The health department anticipates it could take months to get appointments for everyone on the wait list if vaccine supply doesn t increase. The Virginia Department of Health has also changed to a population-based allocation to health districts, which the Fairfax County Health Department says could keep the pace of incoming doses the same until March.
