January 15, 2021 at 4:45pm Acknowledging that “many residents are frustrated,” Arlington officials on Friday urged patience with the county’s vaccine distribution, while calling on the state for more doses.

Yesterday the seven-day total was 21, largely due to a big spike in reported hospitalizations on Dec. 16. ....
