News: COVID Vaccine For 65+

February 13, 2021 By Libby

Dear Friends,

Many of you have likely seen this press release, but in case you have not I want to call your attention to it for two reasons: 

First, the very good news is that we have completed first vaccinations of most of those 75 and older in Arlington and are now beginning to vaccinate those 65 and older. While I’ve not yet gotten my notice, several people I know  in the 65+ category have been

invited to sign up for their vaccination. The invitations are going out in roughly the order in which they were received. You can read about it in the press release. 

Second, the possibly good news is that the State of Virginia is taking over the pre-registration systems for vaccinations. Our County site closed down Friday afternoon. The Virginia site for pre-registration is planned to open next Tuesday, the 16th. That is described in the press release as well. 

My one caution as we think about this is that the new system is statewide and …. new. In my experience, roll-outs of large electronic systems like this that connect with the public and are new, often have issues at least in the beginning. I hope any issues that Virginia experiences with this new system are small and easily handled, but I’m braced for difficulties that we on the local level will have to address. 

I hope this information is helpful and wish everyone a good President’s Day weekend.   

As always, stay well!

Welcome TO My Website

Though, I am on the ballot for re-election to the County Board on November 3rd and I very much want your vote,  I am temporarily suspending campaigning due to the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19.  I am now focusing on ensuring our resiliency as a community so we can get through this health and economic crisis and prepare to recover as quickly as possible. Please see my “COVID-19 Resources” and “News” pages for information on this evolving crisis and how you can help.
