ELECTION 2021: Henrico voters cast ballots in races for state office

Henrico voters are casting their ballots today in races for the House of Delegates and the state’s top three elected offices – governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.

In Henrico, the most competitive of the former bunch is expected to be the rematch in the 73rd House district, which features Democrat Rodney Willett attempting to win his second term by defeating Republican challenger Mary Margaret Kastelberg – the same opponent he defeated two years ago to win the seat.

When can 5 to 11 year-olds be vaccinated in Henrico?

Henrico parents wondering when they can have their 5 to 11 year-olds vaccinated against COVID-19 may not have to wait much longer for an answer.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet Tuesday to discuss the use of the Pfizer vaccine with children in that age range, just four days after the Food and Drug Administration authorized that usage. If, as expected, CDC officials give their approval, vaccinations could in theory start immediately.
