    What is the problem with Loudoun county. Worst run distribution of vaccines – been registered for almost 3 weeks and learn they are out of vaccines – have so many friends not only 75+ (like my husband and I am but those younger already have their 1st shot and in a week they will get their second. Fairfax county sure has theirs moving forward with enough vaccines – pitiful someone needs to do a press briefing on this to let people frustrated and needing the shot are waiting and need to know why every other county have enough vaccine!!!
