COVID-19 vaccination update

Deputy County Administrator Jim Taylor reported to the Board of Supervisors on February 24 that over 19,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccination have been administered to county residents so far and that over 5,600 people are fully vaccinated. The vaccine is being administered through the Chickahominy Health District of the Virginia Department of Health at clinics held in the former Food Lion building in the Ashland Junction Shopping Center and at Randolph-Macon College. The County is also participating in regional vaccination clinics at Richmond Raceway in Henrico County. Vaccinations are being administered by appointment only according to the state’s priority groups. Currently, the County’s vaccination team and Chickahominy Health District staff are working through the Tier 1b group, with priority being given to older residents.
