Prince William
The Prince William County Department of Public Works is just beginning a nearly one-mile project along a section of Powell’s Creek, just off Cardinal Drive and Merrily Way, behind the Montclair and Four Seasons subdivisions.
The two-year project will establish wetlands along the boundaries of Powell’s Creek to act as buffers against flooding. The current project on Powell’s Creek will also improve degraded bank conditions that threaten a sanitary sewer main transmission line.
The Prince William Health District will resume the use of the Johnson and Johnson one dose COVID-19 vaccine. The Virginia Department of Health has directed vaccine providers to begin the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine consistent with a review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration.
The use of this vaccine is recommended based on the FDA and CDC findings that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19, the vaccine’s benefits outweighing known and potential risks in people 18 and older. Review of the data showed a low chance of blood clots and low platelets (thrombosis-thrombocytopenia syndrome) in the almost 8 million people who received the vaccine. The FDA and CDC will continue to investigate this risk.
