The effort to vaccinate the Fredericksburg region from the coronavirus has stalled.
According to the presentation given by the Rappahannock Area Health District given to the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, as of May 4, 92,013 doses of vaccine have been administered to residents. Of those numbers, just under 55,000 or 40% of that number have gotten at least one shot, while 26.1% have been fully vaccinated.
You no longer have to schedule an appointment days in advance ahead of time to get the coronavirus vaccine.
Today, the Prince William Health District says residents simply visit vase.vdh.virginia.gov and schedule their vaccination appointment with the Prince William Health District (PWHD).

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.
