[Archived] City of Alexandria Provides COVID-19 Updates; Weekly Vaccine Updates; Clerk of the Circuit Court Resumes Walk-in Services

­­For Immediate Release: April 30, 2021

Help end the pandemic by wearing a mask over both your nose and mouth, washing your hands frequently, and scheduling a vaccination appointment. 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.

Weekly Vaccine Updates

Between April 23 and April 29, the Alexandria Health Department (AHD) administered first doses to 2,342 people and fully vaccinated 1,999 people with a second dose of Moderna or Pfizer. AHD's vaccinating partners, which include pharmacies and private providers, administered the remainder of Alexandria's vaccine supply this past week. 

Alexandria will receive 11,610 doses for next week, including first and second doses. This does not include additional vaccine doses federal programs provide directly to participating pharmacies and Alexandria's federally qualified health center, Neighborhood Health. AHD administers vaccines at clinic events and allocates the remaining doses to private providers. Appointments from AHD and private providers are listed on alexandriava.gov/Vaccines, with both scheduled and walk-in opportunities.   

Clerk of the Circuit Court Resumes Walk-in Services

Effective Monday, May 3, the offices of the Alexandria Clerk of the Circuit Court will reopen for walk-in services in addition to other operational changes. Appointments will no longer be required to conduct business at the counters in Room 307 of the Alexandria Courthouse (520 King St.). The Clerk’s office will no longer be accepting pleadings, copy requests, or filings of any kind by email. Filings may be made in-person at the Courthouse counters; using the Clerk of Circuit Court drop box at the courthouse; or by mail. The Judges’ Chambers’ email address  will also be deactivated. All courtesy copies should now be hand-delivered to the Circuit Court Judges’ Chambers drop box located on the 4th floor of the Courthouse, rather than the Clerk of the Circuit Court drop box in the Courthouse vestibule, which will delay receipt of documents to Judges’ Chambers.
