Phase 2 Is Now Open In Richmond And Henrico!
April 9, 2021: As of April 9, Richmond and Henrico Health Districts will begin opening appointments for residents in Phase 2, which includes any person age 16 and older. This is a major milestone in our fight against the pandemic, and we appreciate the patience many of you have shown as we have focused the early months of our vaccination efforts on our most vulnerable residents. While vaccinating so many of our neighbors will still take time, the entire staff of Richmond and Henrico Health Districts is thrilled to be able to offer the vaccine to anyone age 16 and older who wants to receive it in the weeks and months ahead. ...

Easier COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Process for Seniors
MARCH 17, 2021- Seniors ages 65 and older who live in Richmond City or Henrico County no longer have to wait for an email or phone call to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment. Seniors can now call the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts’ COVID-19 hotline (804-205-3501) M-Fr, 8:00am-5:00pm to schedule an appointment directly.
This change in registration process was established after Richmond and Henrico Health Districts (RHHD) called or emailed nearly every senior who pre-registered for a COVID-19 vaccine. RHHD are now opening up phone lines to make the process easier for seniors in our area who have not yet received their COVID-19 vaccine.
“We’ve heard from frustrated seniors who have missed our calls that it’s not sustainable for them to live their lives right next to their telephone,” explains Amy Popovich, Nurse Manager at RHHD. “We’re hopeful that cutting out some steps in the registration process helps us vaccinate more seniors and makes the process easier for everyone.”
Although the hotline is staffed in the evenings and on weekends to answer general questions, seniors must call during business hours (M-Fr, 8:00am-5:00pm) to schedule their appointment.
Anyone interested in a COVID-19 vaccine who is not a senior should pre-register by visiting vaccinate.virginia.gov or calling 877-VAX-IN-VA and wait until they are contacted for an appointment. Due to limited staff capacity and vaccine supply, only seniors ages 65 and older can schedule an appointment on demand.
Which Vaccine Is Right For Me?
MARCH 1, 2021- The right vaccine is whichever vaccine you have access to first!
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines. Both use the same process and although some minor ingredients are slightly different between the two, they do the same thing in your body. They are both safe and effective. Both are approximately 95% effective at preventing symptomatic illness and about 100% effective at preventing severe disease that would lead to hospitalization.
