RICHMOND, Va. According to new data from the Virginia Department of Health, 1,063 fully-vaccinated Virginians have tested positive for COVID-19. That s less than one percent of all COVID-19 case numbers.
The VDH dashboard also shows 71 fully-vaccinated Virginians have been hospitalized for COVID-19, and 17 have died. It is highly unusual, and when it occurs, it is surprising, explained Rebekah Butterfield, epidemiologist with the Richmond Henrico Health District. Every time that that occurs, a few cases that we ve had, we do make note of it and look into the patient s medical history to see if there are other, you know, underlying reasons for that.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. Insurance giant Aetna hosted a free, walk-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Islamic Center of Henrico Saturday.
The clinic comes as vaccination numbers in Virginia continue to increase, but at a slower pace than the past few months. As a result, health officials have shifted their strategy from mass vaccination clinics to more targeted events.
Additionally, recent state data show a lag in vaccine adoption in Black, Asian and Pacific Islanders (APPI) and Latino populations, according to Aetna.
While the mass vaccination events at Richmond Raceway are set to end in June, health leaders said they would work with parents to find a location for their children to receive a second dose of vaccine.
