Virginia health districts have the option of transitioning to the next vaccination phase this week, but Arlington will not be among those doing so.
The county is still working to vaccinate those in the Phase 1b group, a spokeswoman said, and it’s unclear when it will be able to join other health districts in Phase 1c.
Arlington where demand for the vaccine is proportionally higher than in more rural parts of the state and, in fact, higher than almost anywhere else in the country is not alone in being unable to move to Phase 1c quite yet.

Lubber Run Community Center isn’t open to the public yet, but by Saturday morning the Virginia Department of Health said they’ll be ready to administer 1,500 doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Our goal is to be set up by the end of the day and be all set for Saturday when the goal is to vaccinate 1,500 Arlingtonians in one day.
