RICHMOND, Va. (AP)- Gov. Ralph Northam has announced that all Virginians age 16 and older will be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine beginning on April 18.
Northam said nearly everyone in the highest-risk groups who has preregistered for a vaccination appointment has received one. He said those who are still on the pre-registration list will receive appointment invitations within the next two weeks.
More than 3.7 million vaccine does have been 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.

As of 2Apr the VA government is holding just under 5 million doses and only 4.1 million have been administered. Va is in 9th place overall for citizen vaccination.
The current Shore Daily News reports on the minimal virus effects on Accomac & Northampton may be the result of the Eastern Shore’s DOH rep Jon Richardson and Del Rob Bloxom helping to make sure the ES is receiving the needed supply of vaccine for us. If they are responsible for that help, a huge Thank You to both. Keep the vaccine coming!!
Been trying to get an appointment for my husband for 5 months no luck so far. He’s 71. Tried Sentara, riverside and Virginia web sight. He has received 3 messages from riverside saying they would contact him so far nothing.
Colleen,
I suggest you contact the Health Clinic in Eastville. I contacted them in late January and got an appointment for 1 February with a follow-up shot 1 March. I am 66 years of age.
Agree. Call Eastville directly. They’re awesome. Good luck!
You would have to be bat-sh1t crazy to trust these people enough to give you or your loved ones a vaccine.
You are an anti vaxxer , what a surprise. Afraid of Bill Gates microchipping you? Are you also afraid of 5g towers? Let’s see which one of the 5 canned responses I get now
Some would say that you are the batshit crazy one. Stay home while the rest of us enjoy the freedom of a vaccinated life.
