PWHD COVID-19 Response –Information Update

Concerning Rise in COVID-19 Cases

(Manassas, VA)  The rise in COVID-19 cases is concerning and is likely due to the Delta variant. Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask indoors when there is substantial or high community transmission. Prince Willam County is now at substantial transmission.

Practicing proper COVID prevention strategies, such as wearing masks and social distancing, will help prevent transmission.  If you are sitting on the fence about getting a COVID vaccine, now is a good time to get vaccinated. The COVID vaccine helps to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Below are some upcoming COVID-19 vaccine clinics.

PWHD COVID-19 Response –Information Update

The CDC reports COVID-19 Cases Jumped Nearly 70-percent from the Prior Seven-Day Average 

(Manassas, VA) COVID-19 cases are on the rise again.  The good news is that if you are fully vaccinated, you have protection against severe cases of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.  Because you are fully vaccinated, you have protection from becoming severely ill or hospitalized by the highly contagious Delta variant, which continues to spread across the country.  Learn about the variants here: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/variants/

Second Dose 

It is not too late to get your 2nd dose, even if you are overdue for that important second dose. The two-dose Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine offers the most protection against COVID-19 and various variants, including the Delta variant. You are fully vaccinated two weeks after your second dose.

If you are looking for a vaccine clinic to get your 2nd dose or even your 1st dose, here are several COVID-19 vaccine clinics in the Prince William Health District.

Statewide Emergency Declaration Ends but Pandemic Still Not Over

(Manassas, VA) – The COVID-19 pandemic is not over, even though Virginia’s Emergency Declaration ended on July 1, 2021.

Vaccines are the best defense against COVID-19. Public health officials strongly encourage those individuals with a weakened immune system or who are not fully vaccinated to continue to wear face masks indoors where COVID-19 can spread quickly, and also in crowded settings.

Virginia state law does prohibit wearing a mask to conceal a person’s identity. According to Virginia Public Health Officials, this DOES NOT prohibit Virginians from wearing a mask to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 even though the emergency declaration has ended.

Another reason to get the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is that these vaccines appear to protect against the Delta variant, which is now in Virginia, and all fifty states.  Being fully vaccinated offers protection against this variant that is rapidly spreading across the United States.

To find COVID-19 appointments, you can reach out to your healthcare provider, visit Vaccines.Gov or text your zip code to GETVAX (438829).

NOW YOU ARE IN CONTROL:  MAKING COVID-19 VACCINE APPOINTMENTS

Vaccines.gov is your one-stop where you can find and make FREE COVID-19 vaccine appointments.  You select the day and time that works for you, and the vaccine you prefer such as Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson.

*Vaccination eligibility is open to all 16 and older. Currently, the only COVID-19 vaccine approved for 16 & 17-year-olds is the Pfizer vaccine.

GOOD NEWS – 2ND Doses  

Now you can get your second dose anywhere you want.  This is great news for college students. Soon, the school year will be wrapping up and the students will be heading home.  If they had gotten their first dose from a school-sponsored clinic, they will NOT have to travel back to school to get their second dose of Moderna or Pfizer at that same clinic.  They can get their second dose close to home.

Second Dose Benefits

  • Nearly 100-percent protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death. Without the second dose, you are not fully protected against COVID-19.

Missed Getting your Second Dose?

It is NOT too late!  The experts are saying if you missed your second dose by the sixth week (42-days) window, you can still get that second dose and have the protection that a second dose provides.

Need Help to Make Vaccine Appointment:

If you need to schedule a vaccine appointment by phone call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA (1-877-829-4682).  Virginia’s call center is open seven days a week (8 am–8 pm).

Prince William Health District Will Resume Use of Johnson and Johnson One-Dose COVID-19 Vaccine  Following Completion of Federal Safety Review

Virginia Joins other States in Offering Johnson and Johnson Vaccine

The Prince William Health District will resume the use of the Johnson and Johnson one dose COVID vaccine. The Virginia Department of Health has directed vaccine providers to begin the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine consistent with a review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration.

The use of this vaccine is recommended based on the FDA and CDC findings that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19.  The vaccine’s benefits outweigh known and potential risks in people 18 and older. Review of the data showed a low chance of blood clots and low platelets (thrombosis-thrombocytopenia syndrome) in the almost 8 million people who received the vaccine. The FDA and CDC will continue to investigate this risk.

The benefits of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine include the vaccine efficacy against COVID-19 associated hospitalizations is 93%, high efficacy in preventing severe outcomes and death for any symptomatic COVID-19 case, efficacy against variants, and the single dose making it easier for certain populations that may have difficulty in getting a second vaccination.

Although the risk is low, for residents who choose the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, if within three weeks of receiving the vaccine you develop:

  • Severe headache
  • Backache
  • Blurred vision
  • Fainting
  • Seizures
  • Severe pain in abdomen, stomach, or the chest
  • Leg swelling
  • Shortness of breath
  • New bruising or bleeding

*Immediately seek medical care and notify the provider that you received the Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine. More from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/JJUpdate.html#symptoms-list

​​Vaccines are now being offered to anyone 16 years old and older.  Currently, the Pfizer vaccine is the only one approved for 16 and 17-year-olds.

All Virginians are encouraged to schedule an appointment to receive one of the three available FREE COVID-19 vaccines by visiting vaccinate.virginia.gov or calling 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682).

COVID-19 Variant Information

Not only are we continuing to fight the COVID-19 virus but also we are fighting mutations of the virus (call variants) which are much more contagious. Learn about the variants: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/variants/

These variants are the main reason for us to continue to mask up, keep 6 feet from others, and continue to frequently wash our hands with soap and warm water. 

 COVID Testing Update

 COVID testing is another important tool to help end the pandemic.  This testing allows communities to understand what variants may be present in Virginia, and the health district.

Testing allows us to help stop the virus from spreading by having people who test positive isolate and work with contact tracers to alert others who may have been exposed.

Starting Sunday, Virginians will be able to find and schedule appointments directly through vaccinate.virginia.gov or by calling 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1).  One of the options at the vaccinate.virginia.gov site will be linking to https://vaccinefinder.org/.

Vaccine Finder lets you search for appointments near you, after entering your zip code.  Look for vaccine providers that have the words “in stock” and not “out of stock.”  Also, it will tell you if Moderna or Pfitzer vaccine is available.  The Prince William Health District is expected to be on Vaccine Finder come Sunday.

The Vaccine Finder website continues to expand as its list of vaccine providers grow.

Setting Expectations

If you are looking for a vaccine appointment, you may have to wait possibly days to weeks, but continue to check back on the Vaccine Finder website for an appointment.  Right now, there is a high demand for vaccinations in the Northern Virginia area.

For those who are in Phase 1, if you are unable to find an appointment in Vaccine Finder, you should register (if you are not already registered) at vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA for your appointment.

Virginia Stops using Johnson and Johnson Vaccine until CDC Investigation is Completed

 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a rare possible side effect with the Johnson and Johnson (J and J) COVID-19 vaccine. Six women developed a rare disorder involving blood clots within about two weeks of getting a J and J vaccination.  One of the women, a 45-year-old from Virginia died. To date, more than 6.8 million people in the United States have received the J and J vaccine. The cases are being investigated to understand if there is a connection to the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Did you have a J and J vaccine within the past three weeks?

 If you did, here is what you should watch out for: severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath. If you develop these conditions, you should contact your doctor or call 911 and make sure the healthcare provider is aware that you received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

  • These symptoms are different from the flu-like illness (which can include headache) that can be seen shortly after vaccination.
  • People who received the J and J vaccine more than a month ago are at very low risk of developing this adverse event.
  • On Tuesday, April 13, the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration asked that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine not be used until the CDC completes the investigation. Virginia continues its vaccine rollout using Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.  Vaccinations continue to be a very important tool to get this pandemic under control.

If you need to reschedule an appointment call the Virginia call center 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682)

Johnson and Johnson Vaccine

 Metz Middle School Vaccine Clinic Now using Pfizer Vaccine

 The vaccine clinics taking place today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) at Metz Middle School in Manassas City will now be using Pfizer vaccine.

The two-day clinic (held by Walgreens and Manassas City) switched from Johnson and Johnson vaccine for the Pfizer vaccine.

  • Pfizer vaccine being used at Metz Middle School Clinic
  • Please know, all appointments are still the same
  • Participants are asked to be patient as the nurses and staff make this switch

*In the Prince William Health District Manassas Mall vaccination clinic, the COVID-19 vaccine is the Moderna vaccine.

REASON FOR THE SWITCH

Today, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended a pause in the use of Johnson and Johnson vaccine out of an abundance of caution while it investigates an extremely rare possible side effect.

 Dr. Danny Avula, VDH Vaccine Coordinator, states that in Virginia all Johnson and Johnson vaccines have been halted until that investigation is complete.

Dr. Avula states that, “This pause is reassuring in that it demonstrates the systems that are in place to monitor vaccine safety are working. We look forward to a thorough review by federal health officials.” The state will continue Virginia’s vaccine rollout at this time with the other two authorized vaccines, developed by Pfizer and Moderna.

To reschedule an appointment call the Virginia call center 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682)

Information Update

Virginia nears end of Phase 1 waiting list, begins moving to Phase 2

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY—Governor Ralph Northam today announced that all individuals in Virginia age 16 and older will be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine starting on Sunday, April 18, ahead of the May 1 nationwide goal set by President Joe Biden. Governor Northam made the announcement during a visit to a vaccination clinic at First Mount Zion Baptist Church in Prince William County, where more than 1,000 vaccines will be administered today.

This news comes as nearly every Virginian in the highest risk groups who has pre-registered for a vaccination appointment has received one, and those still on the pre-registration list will receive appointment invitations within the next two weeks.

“The COVID-19 vaccine is the light at the end of the tunnel—and that light is getting brighter every day as more and more Virginians get vaccinated,” said Governor Northam. “We continue to work with diverse providers and community partners across the Commonwealth to distribute vaccines in a fair and equitable way and ensure those at the highest risk are vaccinated first. Expanding vaccine eligibility to all adults marks an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to put this pandemic behind us, and I thank all of the public health staff, health care workers, vaccinators, and volunteers who have helped make this possible.”

With over 3.7 million doses of vaccine administered so far in Virginia, more than one in three adults have received at least one dose and one in five Virginians are fully vaccinated. Virginia is administering vaccine doses as quickly as they are provided by the federal government. Because the Commonwealth has followed guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prioritize those at highest risk, and because Virginia is a large and diverse state with many essential workers, many out-of-state commuters, and a high percentage of the population that wants to be vaccinated, it has taken some time to open eligibility to the general public.

In addition to adopting phased eligibility based on risk, Virginia has focused on equity throughout its vaccination effort by providing targeted resources in multiple languages, scheduling clinics in collaboration with community partners, performing grassroots outreach to drive pre-registration and scheduling, and implementing large, state-run Community Vaccination Centers in areas with vulnerable populations. These efforts will continue when eligibility opens to the general public in Phase 2.

Twenty-one of Virginia’s 35 local health districts have already started vaccinating essential workers in Phase 1c after providing appointments to everyone eligible in Phases 1a or 1b on the pre-registration list. Beginning April 4, districts that have invited everyone pre-registered in Phase 1c may invite members of the general public who have pre-registered. Based on the supply projected by the federal government, all local health districts will have enough vaccine to open appointments to the general public by April 18. Those at highest risk will continue to receive priority in the scheduling process.

Everyone who lives or works in Virginia should pre-register so they can be notified when they are eligible for vaccination and an appointment is available. To pre-register, visit vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1). Assistance is available in English, Spanish, and more than 100 other languages. Videoconferencing in American Sign Language is also available at vaccinate.virginia.gov.

 POP-UP COVID-19 VACCINE CLINICS FOCUSING ON COMMUNITIES AT GREATER RISK FOR INFECTION, HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH

 With COVID-19 vaccine supplies increasing, state-run pop-up vaccination clinics are opening in the Prince William Health District area (Prince William County, the City of Manassas and the City of Manassas Park).

The clinics are focusing on areas in the Greater Prince William area with larger vulnerable populations and populations that are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

  • The CDC reports that Hispanic or Latino persons are at 3.1 times greater risk to be hospitalized from COVID-19 and are at 2.3 times greater risk of dying from the disease or from complications from COVID-19.
  • CDC reports that Black or African-Americans are at 2.9 times greater risk to be hospitalized from COVID-19 and are at 1.9 times greater risk of dying from the disease or from complications from COVID-19.
  • CDC reports that Asianpersons are at 1.0 times greater risk to be hospitalized from COVID-19 and are at 1.0 times greater risk of dying from the disease or from complications from COVID-19.

Source:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/hospitalization-death-by-race-ethnicity.html

 On Thursday, April 1, two state-run pop-up clinics are taking place.  These locations are fully booked.  More opportunities will be available in the future.

 First Mount Zion Baptist Church Clinic 

Location: 16622 Dumfries Road, Dumfries, VA 22025

Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Todos Supermarket Clinic

Time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To get your free COVID-19 vaccine pre-register at VACCINATE.VIRGINIA.GOV or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA.

 COVID-19 VACCINES ARE NOT SOLD —They are FREE!

If you come across a website offering to sell COVID-19 vaccine, it is a fraud!  COVID-19 vaccines are never sold or exchanged online.

Stop Scammers

Here’s what you should know:

The Virginia Department of Health (VHD) will not ask for money for a COVID-19 vaccine and will not send the vaccine.

  • If you are being asked to pay for the vaccine or are being asked to pay to get registered on a waitlist, this is a scam.
  • If you get an email invitation for an appointment, but it demands money, this is a scam.
  • If you get an advertisement by email, online or text that says for payment, get vaccine doses shipped to you, this is a scam.
  • Scam artists search for ways to get people to hand over their personal information. People are taking selfies with their vaccination cards and posting to social media as they are excited to get the vaccine. The problem is the vaccination card has personal information on it, like birth dates.  This is an invitation for identity theft.

If you think you are being scammed, call the Virginia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section at (800) 552-9963.

Beginning on Thursday, April 1, restrictions ease as follows:

  • Increase in Number of People at Social gatherings: Social gatherings will increase to 50 people for indoor settings and 100 people for outdoor settings.  Currently, social gatherings are limited to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors.
  • Recreational sporting events: For indoor settings, the number of spectators at recreational sporting events will increase from 25 to 100 people per field or 30 percent capacity, whichever is less. Outdoor settings will increase from 250 to 500 people per field or 30 percent capacity, whichever is less for outdoor settings.
  • In-person graduation and commencement events: Gov. Northam’s preliminary guidance on safe in-person graduations and commencements, for outdoor events, include a cap of 5,000 people or 30 percent of the venue capacity, whichever is less.

Tuesday Community Vaccination Center (CVC) Opens

A Community Vaccination Center or CVC is a large-scale vaccination clinic that can vaccinate hundreds to thousands of people a day. CVCs were an initiative planned from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis to support communities when more vaccines were available.

Beginning Tuesday, March 23, a CVC will begin vaccinating people who live as well as people who work in the Prince William Health District.   The CVC is located at the former Gander Mountain store, 14011 Worth Avenue, Woodbridge, VA 22192.

Important Information for CVC Appointments 

  • Arrive no earlier than 20 minutes before your appointment.  You will not be allowed in early to receive your vaccine.
  • Bring a copy of your invitation (email, text, QR code) and proof of your name when you arrive at the site.
  • No walk-ins will be accepted at this time.  Please pre-register to be contacted for an appointment.

Organized by VDEM, the CVCs are standing up throughout the state in communities with the largest vulnerable populations and populations with higher rates of COVID-19 illnesses and death.  According to VDEM, these sites were further evaluated to ensure health equity.

These sites are State-managed and made possible thanks to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding that was granted to Virginia for the State’s continued response to COVID-19.

Those vaccinated at the CVC will come from the State’s pre-registration list.  If you are not pre-registered, now is the time to get registered.  To register, go to:  VACCINATE.VIRGINIA.GOV or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA.

It is a good idea to register today even if you are not sure you want the vaccine.  If you end up changing your mind, you are already in line which means you will not have to wait as long.

**Please update your registration record if your status has changed.

Information Update

Community Vaccination Center (CVC): Starts Next Week at the old Gander Mountain location

A Community Vaccination Center or CVC is a large-scale vaccination clinic that can vaccinate hundreds to thousands of people a day. CVCs were an initiative planned from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis to support communities when more vaccines were available.

Beginning next week, a CVC will be another clinic to get vaccines into arms in the Prince William Health District. The location is Gander Mountain, 14011 Worth Avenue, Woodbridge, VA 22192.

According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), health departments and localities have been responding to the pandemic for a year, and a planning assumption was that once vaccinations were more readily available, health departments would be stretched very thin. VDEM officials say CVC sites are intended to assist the amazing work health departments, pharmacies, healthcare providers, and healthcare facilities across the state have been doing over the past few months to get vaccines into arms.

Organized by VDEM, the CVCs are standing up throughout the state in communities with the largest vulnerable populations and populations with higher rates of COVID-19 illnesses and death.  According to VDEM, these sites were further evaluated to ensure health equity.

Presently, all of these sites require vaccination appointments. Individuals who pre-registered for the vaccine and are eligible under the health districts and states current phases for distribution will be contacted to make an appointment to receive their vaccine doses.

Those vaccinated at the CVC will come from the State’s pre-registration list.  If you are not pre-registered, now is the time to get registered.

To register, go to:  VACCINATE.VIRGINIA.GOV or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA. Please update your registration record if your status has changed. Even if you have already been vaccinated, it is important to update your Vaccinate Virginia pre-registration record with your correct first name, last name, and date of birth.  This will ensure that you will be automatically removed from the waitlist once you have been vaccinated. Do not hesitate to sign up today even if you are uncertain if you want the vaccine. It will not obligate you to get vaccinated when it is your turn.

Below are some helpful hints for the public who are scheduled to visit one of these sites:

  • Arrive no earlier than 20 minutes prior to your appointment time. You will not be allowed in early to receive your vaccine.
    ● No walk-ins will be accepted at this time. Please pre-register to be contacted for an appointment.
    ● Bring a copy of your invitation (email, text, QR code) and proof of your name when you arrive at the site.

These community vaccination centers will not replace other local, small-scale efforts to deliver COVID-19. These sites are State-managed and made possible thanks to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding that was granted to Virginia for the State’s continued response to COVID-19. The sites were selected after VDEM conducted an equity analysis to determine the communities with the largest number of vulnerable populations and communities that were most impacted by COVID-19.

PHASE 1a and all of Phase 1b Now Open In PWHD:

In PWHD, Phase 1b pre-registered persons in tiers 1-11 are now eligible to be vaccinated. Those in Phase 1b tiers include:

(1) Police, Fire, and Hazmat Workers

(2) Corrections and homeless shelter workers

(3) Childcare/Pre-k-12 Teachers/Staff

(4) Food and Agriculture workers

(5) Those who work in Manufacturing

(6) Those who work at Grocery Stores

(7) Public transit workers

(8) Mail carriers (USPS and private)

(9) Officials needed to maintain continuity of government

(10) Clergy/Faith Leaders

(11) Janitorial/ Cleaning Staff

 Additionally, persons aged 65 years and older, people living in Correctional Facilities, Homeless Shelters, and Migrant Labor Camps, and people aged 16-64 with a High-Risk Medical Condition or Disability are eligible for vaccinations.

Large Vaccination Clinic will be Rolling into PWHD Area

PWHD is getting a Community Vaccination Center

(March 16,2021)

A Community Vaccination Center or CVC is a large-scale vaccination clinic that is able to vaccinate from hundreds to thousands in one day. CVCs were an initiative planned from the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis to support communities when more vaccines were made available.

Beginning next week, a CVC will be putting needles into arms in the Prince William Health District. It will be at the old Gander Mt. building near the Potomac Mills Mall.  The state says the CVC will do an estimated 3,000 doses a day which is 15,000 a week.  It will operate five days a week (Tuesday-Saturday)

We are still waiting to learn exactly when it will be opening next week.

According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) health departments and localities have been operating in response mode to the pandemic for a year, and one of the planning assumptions was that once the vaccine was more readily available, the health departments would be stretched very thin. VDEM officials say CVC sites are intended to augment the amazing work health departments, pharmacies, healthcare providers, and healthcare facilities across the state have been doing over the past few months to get shots into arms.

The super-size vaccination clinic is an operation organized by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM).  The CVCs are being stood-up in multiple areas in the state.  These chosen areas have the largest vulnerable populations and populations that have higher rates of COVID-19 illnesses and death.  According to VDEM, these sites were further identified using a health equity lens.

Those vaccinated at the CVC will come from the state’s pre-registration list.  If you are not pre-registered, now is the time to get registered.  To register, go to:  VACCINATE.VIRGINIA.GOV or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA.

 Information on the three COVID-19 Vaccines

  • PWHD is using Moderna, and the newest is Johnson and Johnson which is a single-dose vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is being used by many of our partners.
  • The Health District does not recommend one vaccine over another.
  • When scheduling your vaccination appointment, you will be told which vaccine is being used at that vaccination clinic.
  • If you choose not to accept a particular vaccine, you should look for a clinic that offers the vaccine you prefer. It will be listed in the site registration information.
  • Experts say the best vaccine might be the first vaccine that is available at that time.
  • Even after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, we still need to wear a face mask, wash our hands, and social distance even after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Johnson and Johnson Efficacy

  • Phase 3 clinical trials found that a single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was 85% effective at preventing severe disease and provided nearly complete protection from COVID-19 related hospitalizations and death.
  • It is authorized for use in people 18 years or older.
  • Protection from the vaccine begins about 2 weeks after receiving the shot (like other vaccines).

****New Scheduling System “PrepMod”

  • The newest vaccine is made by Johnson & Johnson. The S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found it to be safe and effective, and authorized it for emergency use on February 27, 2021.

    • A single dose vaccine is beneficial for walk-in locations, or areas where it is difficult to schedule appointments online.
  • It is highly effective at preventing severe disease, including hospitalization and death.
  • It is authorized for use in people aged 18 years or older (like the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine).
  • It involves a different technology (method), but one that has been used for many years to develop successful vaccines.
  • The dose delivered is the same as other COVID-19 vaccines.
  • The most common side effects among Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 trial participants were injection site pain, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, and nausea.
    • Most side effects occurred within 2 days post-vaccination and were mild or moderate.
  • Protection from the vaccine begins about 2 weeks after receiving the shot (like other vaccines, it takes time for the body to develop protection. We still need to wear mask, wash our hands, and social distance).
  • Note: When PWHD receives the three vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson), we will make appointments based on the vaccine supply on hand.

Who Should Call the PWHD Call Center and When? 

  • If you received your first dose but did not get an appointment for your second dose, you should be contacted 3-7 days prior to your second dose being due.

 (February 27, 2021)

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) announced today that a new single-dose COVID-19 vaccine will begin being offered in Virginia next week following federal approval of a third vaccination that has been proven to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death from the disease.

On Saturday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a new vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson. The EUA allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. for those 18 and older.

Virginia is expected to receive 69,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine next week, which will be prioritized for mass vaccination clinics across the state. An additional allotment is expected to be sent to pharmacies participating in a federal partnership to help vaccinate priority groups, such as those 65 and older, at no cost.

VDH encourages all providers who schedule vaccine appointments to advise individuals which vaccine they will receive because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine differs from those available from Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna in that it requires only one dose, rather than two. All three vaccines have been proven to be effective at preventing COVID-19-related hospitalization and death.

Vaccinate Virginia

This is an update from the Virginia Department of Health about the status of COVID-19 vaccinations in Virginia.

The available supply of vaccine is still very limited around the country, and we know the wait has been frustrating.

The good news is that state and local public health officials and many partners have been working tirelessly to get vaccines to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible:

  • More than 1.4 million doses have already been administered by Virginia, including nearly 95% of the first doses available to the state. You can track Virginia’s progress on the Vaccine Dashboards.
  • Virginia ranks 12th among all states for percent of the population that has received at least one dose, and 9th among all states for percent of available doses administered, according to CDC data presented by the New York Times.

Today, we launched a new statewide vaccine pre-registration system, to make it easier for people to sign up for a free COVID-19 vaccination. If you are receiving this email, you have been transferred automatically to the new statewide system and you do not need to do anything at this time. You will maintain your current status, and can confirm that you are in the new system at any time, at vaccinate.virginia.gov.

The country still needs more vaccine supply to be able to get shots in the arms of everyone who wants them. Unfortunately, it may take weeks or months before everyone currently on waitlists is able to make an appointment. Although the complexities of vaccine distribution do not make it possible to give an estimated appointment date, we will send you regular reminders that you are still on the pre-registration list.

 

When your appointment becomes available, there will be no charge. State and local agencies will never call, email or text you to ask for your social security number or immigration status in connection with vaccination. For additional information, including frequently asked questions and details about vaccine eligibility, visit www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-vaccine/ or https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines.

Esta es una actualización del Departamento de Salud de Virginia sobre las vacunas del COVID-19. El suministro disponible de vacunas todavía es muy limitado en todo el país, y sabemos que la espera ha sido frustrante.

La buena noticia es que los funcionarios de salud pública estatales y locales, así como muchos socios, han estado trabajando incansablemente para que las vacunas lleguen a la mayor cantidad de personas, lo más rápido posible:

  • Virginia ya ha administrado más de 1.4 millones de vacunas, incluido casi el 95% de las primeras dosis disponibles en el estado. Puedes dar seguimiento del progreso en: Vaccine Dashboards.
  • Virginia ocupa el lugar número 12 entre todos los estados, por porcentaje de población, que ha recibido al menos una dosis, y el 9º en porcentaje de dosis disponibles administradas, según los datos de los CDC presentados por elNew York Times.

Hoy lanzamos un nuevo sistema de preinscripción de vacunas en todo el estado, para hacer más fácil que las personas se inscriban para recibir la vacuna gratuita del COVID-19. Si estás recibiendo este correo electrónico, es porque fuiste transferido automáticamente al nuevo sistema estatal, y no necesitas hacer nada en este momento. Mantendrás tu estado actual, y en cualquier momento podrás confirmar que estás en el nuevo sistema, en vaccinate.virginia.gov.

El país aún necesita más suministro de vacunas para poder inyectarlas en los brazos de todos los que las deseen. Desafortunadamente, pueden pasar semanas o meses antes de que todas las personas que están actualmente en listas de espera, puedan programar su cita. Aunque lo complejo de la distribución de las vacunas no permite dar una fecha estimada de la cita, te enviaremos recordatorios regularmente, diciéndote que todavía estás en la lista de preinscripción.

Cuando tu cita esté disponible, no habrá ningún cargo. En relación con la vacunación, las agencias estatales y locales nunca te llamarán, enviarán correos electrónicos o enviarán mensajes de texto para solicitar tu número de seguro social o estado migratorio. Para obtener información adicional, incluyendo preguntas frecuentes y detalles sobre la elegibilidad para la vacuna, visita www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-vaccine/ o https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines.

Information Update

PWHD Vaccination Waitlist:

  • PWHD Vaccine Waitlist is Now a Statewide Pre-registration System: As the Virginia Department of Health transitions to this new centralized pre-registration vaccination system, the Prince William Health District (PWHD) Waitlist Form was deactivated on 5 p.m. on Friday, February 12. If you previously registered for the vaccine using the PWHD Waitlist Form, you will maintain your status in the waitlist queue because your existing waitlist registration was uploaded into the statewide system. On Tuesday, February 16, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. you will be able to access the new statewide system here: http://vaccinate.virginia.gov/  and new registrants can fill out the pre-registration form on that site.
  • How will an existing pre-registration/waitlist record get updated?  By March, pre-registrants will receive a notification via email, text, or phone call encouraging them to update their information in the system. This will not change an individual’s “place in line”. For further information on the new statewide pre-registration system, call the Virginia Department of Health Hotline 877-ASK-VDH3 (877-275-8343)
