Hi
and
welcome
back
my
name
is
jessica,
baxter,
public
information
officer
for
arlington
county's,
public
health
division.
Here
to
answer
your
most
pressing
questions:
when
will
children
younger
than
12
be
eligible
for
a
vaccine?
The
fda
would
have
to
expand
the
emergency
use
authorization
for
children
of
this
age
group.
This
would
then
need
to
be
approved
by
the
cdc
and
the
virginia
department
of
health
would
have
to
endorse.
The
action
before
arlington
county
would
begin
to
administer
vaccines
to
this
age.
A
Group,
what
is
the
new
mask
policy?
The
cdc
recently
released
new
mass
recommendations
for
fully
vaccinated
individuals,
which
the
state
endorsed
based
on
increasing
vaccination
rates
and
declining
covet
19
cases
masks
are
still
required
in
certain
business
settings,
including
k-12
schools,
public
transportation,
congregate
settings
and
health
care
facilities.
Individual
businesses
can
still
require
masks
and
remember.
