RCAHD Community Health Update
\n<\/span>A Roanoke City & Alleghany Health Districts publication<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

On April 2, 2021 the Roanoke City & Alleghany Health Districts (RCAHD) announced that local residents over the age of 16 who want to be vaccinated and who are pre-registered on vaccinate.virginia.gov<\/a> will be invited to schedule a vaccination appointment at one of our local clinics. After receiving 17,000 first and second doses last week, we expect to distribute at least 9,000 first and second doses this week. The increased supply of vaccine will allow the RCAHD to expand vaccine eligibility to \u201cPhase 2\u201d of the Virginia Department of Health vaccination plan, which includes any person aged 16 years and up who lives or works in Virginia.<\/p>\n

As more and more community members are vaccinated, it is important to understand what kind of activities are safe for people who are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n
