The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors recently approved to accept funding from the Virginia Department of Health to use for the distribution of coronavirus vaccine throughout the Fairfax health district.
The first amount of $500,000 will be used to help support local health districts with the costs of running the campaign in the Fairfax Health District. These funds will be used for a wide variety of necessities from hiring temporary staff both medical and non to help distribute the vaccine as well rental cost for facilities, printing and signage, transportation needs, and other various operating costs.
This round of funding come from the $14 million that the Commonwealth of Virginia had set aside from federal CARES Act funds to create a statewide program to distribute any vaccine that was approved for public use. This program known as the COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Campaign was announced on Oct. 23 by Governor Ralph Northam.Â
