Virginia’s Health is in Your Hands. Do your part, stop the spread.

Get the Facts

We need everyone’s help to stop the spread. Individuals, communities, businesses, and healthcare organizations all play an important role in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Virginia is currently in Phases 1A and 1B of our COVID-19 vaccination plan. Healthcare workers, residents of long-term care facilities, frontline essential workers, and those at increased risk of exposure or serious illness are now getting the COVID-19 vaccine. We all need to continue to take the steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, even after we get vaccinated.
Wash your hands often, stay at least six feet apart from others, wear a mask in public settings, stay home if you are sick, and disinfect high-touch surfaces often. These are all very important ways to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Stay in your home from midnight to 5:00 a.m. Only leave your home during this time for essential activities, including seeking medical care, obtaining food and goods, and traveling to and from work. These are requirements of the modified Stay at Home Order as of December 14.
All Virginians should limit indoor and outdoor in-person gatherings to no more than 10 people. Continue to practice physical distancing and avoid mass gatherings and crowded places.
As of December 14, Governor Northam expanded the mask mandate to require that all Virginians aged 5 years and older wear masks that cover their mouth and nose in indoor settings shared with people outside of their household and when outdoors within six feet of another person who does not live with them.

Our mission is to attain optimal health for the people of our community through disease prevention, environmental safeguards and health promotion.

RRHD has begun COVID-19 vaccine efforts following Virginia’s COVID-19 Vaccination priorities.

As of 1/15/2021, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District has given over 2,000 vaccines to Phase 1a and Phase 1b recipients at a central location in the district through an appointment system. We will be transitioning to a larger venue next week to be able to increase our throughput, however vaccine availability from the state remains a limiting factor for distribution.

Our community has been very responsive to the survey tool we posted and thus we will need to press pause on the survey for now so that we can work through the many Phase 1a and 1b contacts we currently have. We are busy working on the logistics of this process. As Governor Northam said, we ask everyone to be patient as we work out the details to implement this change. It will take time to pivot to this new environment. We are working closely with all our localities as well as hospitals, private providers, and pharmacies to increase vaccine availability as soon as we possibly can. Currently we ask people to go to rrhd.org for information and updates as our community vaccination distribution plan evolves. Please understand that our phones are swamped at this time. Stay tuned to the website or our Facebook page for details as more vaccine becomes available. The process may change in the very near future, so check back frequently.

And remember to keep doing those things that will keep us all safe during this time. Watch your distance, wear a mask, wash your hands, and wait to return back to work if you are sick.
