RHHD to offer COVID-19 vaccinations for children under 5 starting Wednesday
The Richmond and Henrico Health Districts will offer their first COVID-19 vaccinations for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years June 22. The RHHD has received shipments of the Moderna vaccines (which recently earned federal approval for children in that age range) and expects delivery soon of the Pfizer vaccine (approved for children 6 months to 4 years old).
PHOTOS: Henrico County’s Juneteenth celebration
Henrico County hosted its second-annual Juneteenth celebration June 18 at Dorey Park in Varina, featuring entertainment, vendors, food, fireworks and more. Thousands of people attended the event, which celebrated the date (June 19, 1865) on which the last remaining former slaves in the United States (in Galveston, Texas) learned that they had been freed by President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which had been issued more than two years earlier.

Henrico’s Top Teachers – Sandy West, Crestview ES
On the first day of preschool each year, Sandy West lets all of the four-year-olds at Crestview Elementary School know that they matter, and that she loves them as if they were her own children.
Having her own child is what made West realize that she wanted to teach preschool instead of fifth grade, which she had taught for seven years in Virginia Beach.
