Loudoun Co. offers COVID-19 booster appointments to all adults

Loudoun County, Virginia, health officials said Monday that they’re offering COVID-19 vaccination booster appointments to all adults.

The county government announced the move in a statement, saying they are following guidance from the Virginia Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.



Loudoun County Health Director Dr. David Goodfriend said in the statement that the new guidance made the process simpler: “Everyone five years and older is now eligible for the vaccine, and everyone 18 years and older is now recommended to get a booster.”

Boosters are recommended six months after the second dose for the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and two months after the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The county is offering appointments at their Dulles Town Center site. You can make an appointment online or call the county information line at 703-737-8300 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

You can also get vaccinated at medical offices and pharmacies including CVS, Giant Food, Harris Teeter, Safeway, Walgreens, Walmart and Wegmans. You can find a site online as well, and also get a flu shot at the same time.

Dulles airport leaders clarify who will pay for $22B, 15-year makeover

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority leaders addressed the questions during a meeting Wednesday at which the board approved the first $15.5 billion piece of the project. "There have been statements out in the public that this is tax money. This is not tax money," MWAA President and CEO Jack Potter said. Funding will come from airport revenue sources such as parking fees and concession sales, along with airline payments, passenger facility charges and $14.2 billion in municipal bonds, said Andy Rountree, WMAA's chief financial officer.
