Loudoun County Update
- Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine: Pre-Registration to Appointment: It's understandable if you are confused about the current process for receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. In an earlier blog post today, we explained the entire process and included a flowchart of what happens from pre-registration to appointment (PDF).
- It is important to understand that the pre-registration process is necessary because there is not a sufficient supply of COVID-19 vaccine to vaccinate everyone right now. When vaccine quantities are limited, public health officials identify those who should receive the vaccine first using a number of criteria. The Virginia Department of Health has outlined priority groups and categories to systematically vaccinate people.
- The process to vaccinate individuals includes several steps that involve different processes or systems that you may encounter as you move through the system to get a vaccine. Read more about the process in our earlier blog post.
