WHEREAS, Fairfax County’s Medically Fragile Task Force, a partnership between the Fairfax County Health Department and the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, has served the Fairfax community by facilitating access to the COVID-19 vaccine for homebound individuals; and
WHEREAS, the Medically Fragile Task Force formed in November 2020 when members of the Fairfax County Health Department’s incident management team met with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department leadership to develop solutions for administering the COVID-19 vaccine to individuals who could not easily leave their homes due to underlying medical conditions; and
WHEREAS, in late 2020, the Medically Fragile Task Force prepared for its mission by developing processes, assembling supply kits, and establishing operation parameters to ensure it could mobilize quickly when the COVID-19 vaccine became available; and
WHEREAS, in coordination with Fairfax County Health Department staff, the Medically Fragile Task Force’s efforts are carried out by small groups of paramedics and nurses who meet with residents in their homes to safely and effectively administer the COVID-19 vaccine; and
WHEREAS, in the first six months of 2021, the Medically Fragile Task Force has vaccinated approximately 600 homebound residents in the Fairfax Health District, and it continues to visit approximately six to 10 homes per day in an effort to achieve the highest possible level of immunity in the community; and
WHEREAS, through steadfast dedication to the well-being of the residents they serve, the Medically Fragile Task Force has helped make the Fairfax Health District a safer and healthier place for all; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That Fairfax County’s Medically Fragile Task Force hereby be commended for meritoriously serving the community by vaccinating homebound individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Fairfax County’s Medically Fragile Task Force as an expression of the House of Delegates’ admiration for its contributions to the Commonwealth.
