When can my nanny be vaccinated in Virginia?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where nannies fall in the priority list? I assume she would qualify under 1b Childcare - but I'm not sure how to help facilitate this process. Anyone already been through it?

[Anonymous]

They are not included in 1b because they work for only 1 family.

go online and try to register as 1b, they will either deny it or not

OP here - as an update I called my local health department today. They said she does qualify for 1b, and that I could either register her as my employee in my jurisdiction, or she could register in hers as a childcare worker (we live in different counties). He did say that employer initiated registrations were moving faster.

Can you share who exactly you called and/or where you register your nanny? I'd be interested, as well!

Not until after my 80 year old neighbors get their vaccination.

OP -- In which county did you ask?

Nannies are not typically 75+, nor are they frontline workers.

The linked page does not refer to nannies vs. other child care workers.

Page 10 lists daycare as frontline, due to exposure level. Nannies and other childcare other than daycare aren’t listed, due to lowered exposure rates. Most areas are saying nannies are lumped into essential workers (1c) IF the employer is frontline (1b) or essential (1c).

But there are and should be priority for anyone who works with babies and children. Babies and children can Be vaccinated so it’s important. So yes, special priority should be given to nannies.

I think they’re 1c.

If the employer is essential (1c), the nanny is essential (and 1c). If not, no.

under the logic that a nanny with 1 employee qualifies, I intend to hire my husband to care for my kids on Tuesdays and he'll hire me on Mondays. Poof, every parent is a nanny

Nannies are not special and can wait their turn.
