Dip in Johnson and Johnson supply won’t stop COVID vaccinations in Roanoke Valley
But shortage could cause a slow down after April 18
Tags:
ROANOKE, Va. – Despite a shortage of Johnson and Johnson vaccines nationwide, Roanoke Valley will have plenty of vaccines next week. But changes are on the horizon after entering phase 2.
Appointment sign-ups are picking up in Roanoke Valley as 1,000 people who pre-registered from Phase 1a to 1c have already snagged a time slot for next week.
But with the state losing 109,000 doses of Johnson and Johnson vaccines next week because of manufacturing issues, Roanoke Valley will receive zero doses.

Fairfax County is committing to expanding COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all adults by April 18, as long as there is sufficient supply, county officials tell Reston Now.
This comes on the heels of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s announcement earlier today (April 1) that all individuals in the Commonwealth over the age of 16 should be eligible for the vaccine starting Sunday, April 18.
“I know that our residents are looking forward to getting vaccinated and to be able to again spend time with their loved ones,” Fairfax County Board pf Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay said in a statement to Reston Now. “Fairfax County is ready and prepared to move forward to meet the Governor’s and President Biden’s deadlines. I’m excited that we can continue to open eligibility and vaccinate even more people.”
All county residents will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by May 1 restonnow.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from restonnow.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
