The Commonwealth of Virginia has released COVID-19 vaccination prioritization
guidelines to assist us in developing a vaccine deployment plan for our
region. The first phase of the distribution includes healthcare workers
and long-term care residents. MWHC has begun vaccinating the first tier
in the Governor’s deployment plan—including healthcare personnel
who directly engage with COVID-19 patients in our hospitals such as emergency
department staff and providers, ICU staff and providers, respiratory therapists,
housekeepers who work in COVID-19 medical units, and more.
In addition, MWHC and RAHD are collaborating to establish vaccine clinics
for our first responders such as EMS, fire and rescue, and police. You
can find the
Governor’s full phased deployment model here. We anticipate completing the first phase of the vaccine deployment in
the first quarter of 2021.
While many of us wait patiently for our turn to receive the vaccine, it
is important to do credible research to determine if you plan to receive
the vaccine. Here are some early “Frequently Asked Questions”
to assist you in making the right decision for you, your family, and your
neighbors. Tune in to our Community Town Halls on
Facebook to learn more or ask questions of our expert panel. Or watch them on our
YouTube channel.
