Hi
I'm
county,
chair,
matt
diferanti.
Many
of
you
have
asked
about
the
timing
for
receiving
a
vaccine,
as
well
as
how
many
people
in
arlington
are
currently
eligible
in
virginia.
Roughly
50
percent
of
the
population
is
currently
eligible
for
the
vaccine.
According
to
the
governor's
guidelines
in
arlington
county.
That's
about
a
hundred
thousand
people.
A
According
to
a
recent
study,
92
percent
of
arlingtonians
want
the
vaccine,
which
is
one
of
the
highest
vaccine
acceptance
rates
in
the
nation.
Yet
right
now
the
county
is
receiving
only
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
doses
each
week
with
that
math.
It
could
take
several
weeks
to
months
to
vaccinate
all
of
those
in
phase
1b.
