To the editor:

As an older resident of the city, I have been anxious for the day I could receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Recently, I received the first of two doses and was so impressed with the efficient management of vaccination of so many of us at T.C. Williams High School.

Though we were ushered to the cafeteria in a line that started out of doors, and through the halls, we were quickly and always very politely directed to a table in the cafeteria where the vaccine was administered. The Alexandria Health Department deserves our gratitude for executing an incalculably difficult undertaking, engaging staff and a great number of volunteers in the urgent job of stemming a pandemic.
