What You Need to Know About Limited Vaccine Supply - Fairfax County Emergency Information

What You Need to Know About Limited Vaccine Supply
-----------------------------------------
The Virginia Department of Health expects to receive 105,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine each week starting this week and will be initiating a per capita distribution to jurisdictions. With this new process, the Health Department will be responsible for distributing vaccine to providers in our health district. The overall decrease in Virginia’s vaccine allocation, a result of limited supplies nationally, is going to significantly limit the pace at which we vaccinate the more than 156,000 residents in Phase 1a and 1b priority groups who have registered through the Health Department’s online application system and are currently in the queue to receive an appointment.

Unfortunately, vaccine supply remains very limited so we ask for your patience as it may take months for some people to get an appointment time.

Vaccination Registration Begins Jan. 18 for 65+ and People with Medical Conditions - Fairfax County Emergency Information

Vaccination Registration Begins Jan. 18 for 65+ and People with Medical Conditions
------------------------------------------
On Jan. 14, Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam announced that people age 65 and older and people age 16-64 with a high-risk medical condition or disability that increases their risk of severe illness from COVID-19 will be moved into Phase 1b. This group, in addition to the 75+ year population, accounts for approximately 40% of all our residents over the age of 16. At this time the Fairfax County Health Department is unable to schedule appointments for these new groups while we continue to work through the large number of individuals who have registered over the last four days and are still awaiting appointment dates.

Please note that due to limited supplies of vaccine, it may take months to get through Phase 1b. The ability to schedule appointments will depend on the supply of vaccine available. The vaccine supply in the U.S. is still very limited and is expected to increase gradually over the next months. We ask for your patience during this process. The Health Department will begin registering individuals in these new groups on Jan. 18.
