All Virginia adults are eligible for coronavirus vaccine appointments. But some are still waiting.

While all adults in Virginia are now eligible to make coronavirus vaccine appointments, supply constraints mean it could be weeks before residents in Fairfax and other areas with high demand are able to make appointments, officials said Monday.
An additional 3 million people became eligible for the vaccine on Sunday in Virginia, with Gov. Ralph Northam (D) saying the state is on track to get first doses to all adults who want them by mid- to late May.
Northam was in Tysons Corner on Monday in advance of the opening of a mass vaccination clinic at a former Lord & Taylor department store that is ready to administer 3,000 shots daily six days a week in hopes of eliminating the backlog in Fairfax County. The clinic will open Tuesday by appointment only.
