ARLINGTON, VA — A day after all health districts in Virginia moved into Phase 2 of the state's COVID-19 vaccination distribution program, Virginia reached a significant milestone.

According to Virginia Department of Health data, 5,345,314 total doses have been administered since last December. A total of 2,137,823 Virginians, or 25 percent of the state's population, are fully vaccinated.

The state is averaging 77,983 doses administered per day. Local health departments lead the state with 1,577,956 total doses given, followed by pharmacies with 1,327,083 total doses, hospitals with 975,170, medical practices with 799,537, and other community health providers with 66,568.

As of Monday, 135,937 vaccine doses administered, according to Virginia Department of Health data. There are 93,044 people with at least one dose and 53,189 fully vaccinated.

Getting Vaccinated

On Friday, Arlington health officials began contacting people who had already pre-registered to be vaccinated in Phase 2, so that they could begin scheduling appointments. If you've already preregistered, your place on the waitlist will be honored.

As of Sunday, all Arlington County residents 16 and older can find appointments via VaccineFinder.org, where they will be able to choose from a variety of appointment times and clinics offering the vaccine.

People who are eligible in phases 1a, 1b or 1c are still being given priority in scheduling their appointments due to existing health conditions or the nature of their jobs. People in these groups who can't find an appointment through Vaccine Finder may still preregister through the state. This includes anyone 65 and older, healthcare workers, frontline essential workers, other essential workers, those with a medical condition or disability, or those living in a long-term care facility, correctional facility, homeless shelter, or migrant labor camp. To pre-register for the vaccine or check if you're registered, visit vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682).
