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
Hereâs an unusual question about vaccine registration: How does a person get off the state list?
Thomas Balch of Fredericksburg and two family members, all over age 65, signed up through the Rappahannock Area Health District website in January, then successfully got appointments through Mary Washington Healthcare during the brief period it scheduled them through its website. While MWHC workers and volunteers continue to vaccinate people at the Fick Conference Center, the health care system isnât creating a separate list anymore. All names come from the local health district.
Balch is concerned that he and his family membersâand others who did the same dual enrollmentâmight be âcluttering up the waiting list.â He wondered if he could remove their names so they donât delay others from getting appointments or cause an âadministrative burdenâ for workers.
