Health districts across the Fredericksburg region are ready for the news Gov. Ralph Northam announced Thursday: Anyone in Virginia age 16 and older who wants a COVID-19 vaccine will be eligible for it starting April 18.
Thatâs almost two weeks ahead of President Joe Bidenâs goal of having the general public eligible for shots by May 1.
âWeâre on the cusp of open eligibility. It is really just days away and thatâs a great thing for our community,â Dr. Mike McDermott, CEO of Mary Washington Hospital, said during an âAsk the Mayorâ session recorded this week with Fredericksburg Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw. âItâs the best health decision that you can make for yourself, and so I encourage everybody to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.â
