How To Get Vaccine In Arlington: Availability For Week Of June 28

ARLINGTON, VA — All Arlington County COVID-19 vaccination centers will be closed on Sunday for the Independence Day holiday, but vaccination appointments are available at various providers the rest of the week.

Arlington and the rest of Virginia have made everyone 12 and older eligible for the vaccine. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for use in people 18 and older, and the Pfizer vaccine is approved for use in people 16 and older.

Appointment availability is becoming more common than earlier months of vaccinations. Northern Virginia's health districts have teamed up for a new campaign called Stay Well NoVa to encourage people to get vaccinated. The campaign seeks to people who are hesitant but may be more open to getting vaccinated after seeing others do so.

According to Virginia Department of Health data, 9,015,280 total doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered since last December. A total of 4,306,417 Virginians, or 50.5 percent of the state's population, are fully vaccinated.

As of Monday, 256,072 vaccine doses were administered in Arlington, according to Virginia Department of Health data. There are 143,642 people with at least one dose and 125,920 fully vaccinated.

All Arlington County residents 12 and older can find free appointments via VaccineFinder.org, where they will be able to choose from a variety of appointment times and clinics offering the vaccine.

All residents have to do to schedule an appointment directly at one of Arlington's public health clinics is to visit the county's website or search for an appointment at nearby locations by searching VaccineFinder.org.

Five pharmacy partners of the Virginia Department of Health have recently expanded their hours on certain days through July 4. The effort is part of National Vaccine Month, a White House led initiative in collaboration with businesses, national organizations, and community-based partners. The pharmacies include Albertsons, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and independent pharmacies
