Medical and non medical volunteers assisting the health department. The MRC unit in Loudoun was formed in November 2003 to improve the county's ability to respond to public health emergencies, whether naturally occurring or man-made.
Medical and non-medical volunteers assist the Health Department in preparing for the possibility of opening emergency mass vaccination and medication dispensing clinics. MRC members can also assist with other public health responses in our community and have the opportunity to be trained in CPR, First Aid and other classes such as REVIVE!if they so desire. The MRC is currently coordinated by Francis Rath and is a component of the health department.
Operating as usual
Due to a forecast of inclement weather, #Loudoun County has canceled the COVID-19 testing event scheduled for Friday, January 7, and has also rescheduled all January 7 appointments at the county’s COVID-19 vaccine clinic. Details here: https://bit.ly/34gDhuj
#Loudoun County is now offering COVID-19 vaccine booster appointments for ages 12 and up.
➡️This follows federal and state approval of the booster doses for this age group.
➡️ Also, the interval when people who have had the initial series of Pfizer vaccine can get a booster shot has been shortened from six months to five months.
➡️ And, a third primary series dose for some children ages 5 to 11 who are immunocompromised has been authorized.

#Loudoun County is now offering appointments for children ages 5 to 11 to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
➡We expect that demand for the vaccine for this age group will initially outpace supply and will limit the number of appointments available in the early days of the vaccination effort.
➡As vaccine supplies increase through the month of November, more appointments will open up.

❓ Has the FDA approved Moderna and J&J boosters or not??
The short answer? Not yet. The long answer? Working on it!
Last week, an FDA advisory committee voted in favor of recommending booster doses of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. But they haven't been *approved* quite yet. Visit https://tinyurl.com/3bwy3hyk to learn more.

Timeline Photos
DYK? You can get a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same time. COVID-19 vaccines may also be administered with other vaccines without regard to timing. Previous knowledge with other vaccines has shown that the way our bodies develop an immune response, and possible side effects after getting vaccinated, are generally the same when a vaccine is given alone or given with other vaccines. More information: http://ow.ly/v3JP50Glosg
#Loudoun County is now offering booster doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to certain groups of people as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
➡The boosters for these specific populations are to be administered at least six months (180 days) after the second dose of Pfizer vaccine.
➡The recommendations from the CDC do not include people who received the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines

Loudoun Medical Reserve Corps updated their information in their About section.
The Loudoun MRC, in conjunction with other MRC units in our region, was activated from 8/17 to 8/25, on short notice, to assist with the Afghan repatriation and refugee efforts at Washington Dulles International Airport. Our primary mission was providing Covid-19 testing and interpretation services.
During these days 95 Loudoun MRC volunteers put in over 921 hours of time in support of this mission. Volunteers worked 3 shifts, 24 hours a day at the airport!
I am incredible proud and thankful for the amazing response we received to our call for assistance and for the willingness of the MRC volunteers to tireless work to assist with this effort.
Loudoun MRC volunteers also remain active with a number of other tasks such as Covid-19 vaccination and testing and back to school events.
We need to be prepared to respond for whatever the future may bring. If you want to be able to help in any health response it is vital that you be part of an organization such as the MRC as, for security reasons, spontaneous unaffiliated volunteers generally can not be used.
For more information or if you would be interested in helping please go to www.loudoun.gov/mrc.
This was sent to me by INOVA and it deserved to be shared.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for making INOVA's Back to School Event on Saturday a huge success! It’s a true reflection of “ One Team”. Even with such short notice, they were able to get 40 plus volunteers (MRC and others) to help out with this event. A total of 102 children received a back to school physical, caught up on their vaccinations and received their TB screening. This turn-out demonstrates the large need in our community for the work that we do every day.
Incredible work by everyone!!!!!
