Patch Survey: How Is The Vaccine Rollout Going In Virginia?

VIRGINIA — Virginia is nearly two months into COVID-19 vaccinations, and over 1.1 million doses have been administered, according to state public health data.

As of Feb. 9, 1,130,763 doses have been administered, or approximately 70 percent of the 1,609,675 doses distributed so far in Virginia. According to the Virginia Department of Health, 913,158 people have at least one dose, and 217,605 are fully vaccinated. The percentage of the population with at least one dose stands at 10.7 percent.

Local health departments are facing wait lists for appointments as vaccine supplies continue to be very limited throughout the state. Residents can use the "When Can I Get Vaccinated" quiz to clarify when residents will become eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Currently, residents in phases 1a and 1b are eligible for the vaccine. Phase 1a includes health care workers and long-term care facility residents. Phase 1b includes residents 65 and older, people 16 to 64 with an underlying health condition or disability, and certain essential worker groups.

Have any of the 1.1 million shots administered thus far in Virginia gone into your arm? If so, Patch wants to know more about your experience, if you're on a wait list, or if you choose not to get the vaccine. This survey will remain open through noon on Thursday, Feb. 11. We will share results after the survey closes.
