COVID vaccine update for children & adults from PW Health District

Prince William Health District offers this information: What You Should Know:

High interest among parents of young children who want to get them protected from COVID-19.

As of Nov. 10, 2021, There are about 723,000 Virginia children ages 5-11 who became eligible for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine upon approval on Nov. 2 according to the Centers for Disease Control. As of Nov. 10,  a total of 35,227 children have received their first dose of the vaccine.

In Virginia, 11,900,269 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered: 84% of adults have had at least one dose of vaccine and 75.5% of adults are fully vaccinated.       
VDH’s top priority is to increase vaccination rates in Virginia because those who are unvaccinated remain at the highest risk of severe illness and hospitalization due to COVID-19.
Everyone 5 years or older is eligible to be vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. All Community Vaccine Centers in the Commonwealth and our Manassas Mall vaccine clinic require appointments.
