For Immediate Release: March 31, 2021
The City of Alexandria and the Alexandria Health Department (AHD) strongly urge residents to stay home as much as possible, wear a mask over both your nose and mouth, and wash your hands frequently. Pre-register to receive the vaccine and you’ll be notified once appointments are available. AHD estimates that approximately 1 in 20 Alexandrians who have tested positive for COVID-19 have required hospitalization, so without these critical steps, additional lives may be at risk.
AHD is hosting several Johnson & Johnson vaccination clinics over the next week using a supply manufactured in the Netherlands that has already been delivered. Recent
news about a decreased Johnson & Johnson supply does not impact current appointments or the safety or quality of AHD's vaccine supply.
Alexandria is quickly moving through the existing pre-registration list of those in Phase 1a and 1b. All residents and frontline essential workers should pre-register at
alexandriava.gov/Vaccines or by calling 1-877-VAX-IN-VA, whether or not they are currently eligible. Businesses should encourage all employees to pre-register individually.
By Monday, April 5, AHD will have attempted to contact and schedule the following groups of people for COVID-19 vaccinations.
Those in priority census tracts who pre-registered by March 30.
Those in all other census tracts who pre-registered by 2 p.m. on March 30.
Police, Fire, and Hazmat; Corrections and Homeless Shelter; Childcare/PreK-12 Teachers/Staff who pre-registered by March 30.
Food and Agriculture/Veterinarians; Manufacturing; Grocery Stores; Public Transit; Mail Carriers/USPS and private; Officials needed to maintain continuity of government/judges/public-facing judicial workers; Clergy/Faith Leaders; Janitorial/Cleaning who pre-registered by March 30.
Restaurant and Food Service Workers who pre-registered by March 30.
If you are in one of the categories above, you pre-registered before the date listed and have not been contacted by AHD by Monday, April 5, first check your spam folder. If you do not have a message in your spam folder, fill out this brief form. If you are a frontline essential worker who registered before the date listed, please visit alexandriava.gov/Vaccines and select “Update Pre-registration Record” to ensure that your employment is accurately listed, including a valid street address (e.g. “4480 King St.”, not “same as home address”). Anyone who does not have email or internet access should contact the Alexandria COVID-19 Hotline weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 703.746.4988.
The seven-day moving average chart below shows the number of COVID-19 cases and the daily and cumulative case and fatality counts, and provides detailed information about how preventive measures are impacting Alexandria's response to the pandemic. An interactive version is available at
alexandriava.gov/114883. The vaccination chart includes total doses administered across all facilities and the percentage of residents ages 16 and older who have been partially and fully vaccinated, and is available at
alexandriava.gov/120654. Detailed data, including data on age, race and ethnicity, are available through links at
alexandriava.gov/Coronavirus.
Continue following measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 even after vaccination. Get tested if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. If you test positive, help loved ones and neighbors by informing your close contacts using “ What to Do If You Get Sick” guidance, which is available in Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, and Farsi or this brief video.
