Braddock Town Hall On Coronavirus Vaccine Planned

BURKE, VA — Braddock District Supervisor James Walkinshaw will host a virtual COVID-19 town hall on Monday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. Dr. Gloria Addo-Ayensu, the Fairfax County health director, will participate.

Dr. Addo-Ayensu will join Supervisor Walkinshaw to discuss Fairfax County's COVID-19 vaccine rollout and vaccine distribution strategy. Residents can have their questions answered as well.

The town hall comes as the Fairfax County Health Department launched a new dashboard providing more data on the vaccine rollout and wait list. The health department continues to take pre-registrations for phase 1a and 1b groups eligible for the vaccine who live or work in the Fairfax Health District. Fairfax County residents should continue to use the Fairfax County health department's pre-registration form rather than Virginia's new statewide form.

The town hall will be televised on Channel 16, (COX Channel 1016; Verizon/Comcast Channel 16) and live-streamed both on Channel 16’s website and Supervisor Walkinshaw’s Facebook page.

Residents can send questions ahead of the town hall to to Braddock@Fairfaxcounty.gov with the email subject line reading “COVID TOWN HALL.” Questions may be submitted live during the town hall on Supervisor Walkinshaw’s Facebook Live in the comments section or by calling Channel 16’s live phone line at 703-324-1114 during the event.

A video recording will be posted on Walkinshaw’s YouTube Channel, and an audio recording will be available on Soundcloud.
