City to Conclude Re-Opening Facilities to the Public

Based upon the current vaccination rate for the adult population in Roanoke exceeding 50%, and current guidance from the CDC and Governor Northam, all City libraries and recreation centers will fully open on Tuesday, June 15. In addition, Wiley Drive will be fully re-opened to vehicular traffic to enable greater access to Smith Park, on that date. As of June 15, the use of face coverings will no longer be required in City facilities for those who have been fully vaccinated. And the City Council Chamber will resume open access for the public with the City Council meeting on July 6.

Vaccines are helping to reduce the number of new cases and their severity we are seeing locally. As more residents are vaccinated and as community members continue to use precautions such as wearing masks when in public, fewer cases of COVID-19 are being reported, and the number of people being hospitalized due to COVID has decreased. If you have not been vaccinated, please consider helping us fight this virus by protecting yourself and those who are not eligible to receive the vaccine. Call the Roanoke City-Alleghany Health District hotline at 540-613-6597, Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. More information can be found here: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-vaccine/.

The City of Roanoke will be teaming up with the Virginia Department of Health and other community partners to talk about the COVID19 Vaccine.  This series of community conversations will be posted to our website as well as the City of Roanoke Social Media channels (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram).  If you have any questions, contact the Office of Community Engagement at: communityengagement@roanokeva.gov.

Equity and the COVID-19 vaccine is so important! The City of Roanoke and our partners at the Virginia Department of Health Roanoke City & Alleghany Health District realized that we needed to remove barriers so that the COVID-19 vaccine was more accessible to some of our most vulnerable residents. 

 We know that our African American residents as well as our Spanish speaking residents have been affected disproportionately with COVID-19 compared to the rest of our community.  The city and VDH teamed up with our equity working groups to help begin to solve this problem. 

On February 17 & 19, 2021, the city and VDH partnered with High St. Baptist Church and Roanoke City Public Schools to host two small community COVID-19 Vaccination clinics.  During the clinics, 200 residents were vaccinated! 

Check out these videos from High Street Baptist Church and Breckenridge Middle School.  We hope to help VDH host additional vaccination clinics in the community very soon!

Like other health districts, the Roanoke City Alleghany Health District (RCAHD) faces a severe shortage of vaccine, as a result of limited supply coming from manufacturers to the Virginia Department of Health.  With just 3,000 doses per week to dispense in our district, it will take months for all who want it to be vaccinated.  Thanks to partners such as Carilion Clinic, RCAHD is making progress but it's going to take time.  Thank you for your patience!

 



Actualización de 21 de enero

Puede ser marzo o más tarde antes de todos los que actualmente están elegibles podrán recibir la vacuna.  Aunque la fase 1B se expandió para incluir muchas personas mayores de la edad de 65 y los con condiciones médicos graves, ya no hemos recibido suministro demasiado grande.

Tenemos fe que todos que quieren la vacuna eventualmente la recibirá.

Compartimos su frustración y desilusión si no pudo matricularse en la clínica de este fin de semana.  Estamos trabajando con otros proveedores de servicios de salud para proveer tan muchas dosis, tan pronto como posible.

Más clínicas están viniendo. #vaccinateroanoke #vaccinatevirginia # COVID19vaccine
