Mobile Vaccine Clinic Returns To Manassas On Thursday

MANASSAS, VA — The Prince William Health District's mobile coronavirus vaccine unit will be making two stops in the Manassas area on Thursday, July 8. The unit will offer the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines on a first-come first-served basis.

The vaccine clinic will set up shop in Manassas Park from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The mobile unit can be found at Guapos, located at 8498 Centreville Road.

Then, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the unit will be at the Manassas Junction Shopping Center. At the time, vaccines will be available at the H Mart at 8819 Centreville Road.

The vaccines will be available until supply runs out. The health district also noted that schedules may change if inclement weather appears.

In recent weeks, the Prince William Health District's daily allocation of vaccines has greatly diminished, according to information from their vaccine dashboard. In March and April, the health district was administering up to 7,000 vaccinations on a given day. Now, the health district has not vaccinated more than 1,000 people in a day since June 25.

Plenty of people in the health district are still eligible for vaccination. According to the Prince William Health District, only 65 percent of eligible people have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

Currently, coronavirus vaccines are available for anyone aged 12 or older. The Pfizer vaccine has received authorization for use in children as young as 12, while the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines are authorized for adults.

At the end of June, Woodbridge's community vaccination clinic at Potomac Mills closed its doors. Now, vaccines from the Prince William Health District can only be received at the mobile clinic unit or the vaccine clinic at the Manassas Mall.
