- MRC Needs Vaccinators: With approval of COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 expected in the coming weeks, the Loudoun Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is preparing now by issuing a call for volunteer vaccinators—especially for those who are comfortable with vaccinating young children. The anticipated upcoming increase in demand for the COVID-19 vaccine will require additional support from the Loudoun MRC and the medical community. Registered nurses, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and physicians with a current Virginia license who are comfortable vaccinating children as young as 5 years old are needed now to ensure there are enough vaccinators available as soon as the Loudoun County Health Department is authorized to begin administering the COVID-19 vaccine to this younger age group.
