DOVER — Registration for those in Phase 1B opened today, with the state focusing on those 65 years old and older. 

The state is holding a series of drive-thru vaccination events this weekend. The five drive-thru vaccinations clinics are scheduled for Friday at the Delaware City Division of Motor Vehicles and on Saturday and Sunday at both the Delaware City and Georgetown DMV locations.

Phase 1B also includes frontline essential workers such as fire, police, correctional officers, teachers and education staff (including child care providers), U.S. postal workers, food manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and grocery store workers. Efforts will continue to vaccinate Phase 1A health care personnel and nursing home residents and staff who have not yet been vaccinated.

To register, go online to coronavirus.delaware.gov/vaccine. Under “Where can I get vaccinated if I am in Phase 1B,” click “Find Out Where to Get Vaccinated.”
