Fairfax Health District To Open Community Vaccination Center In Tysons Corner

Press release from the City of Fairfax:

04/16/2021

On April 20, the Fairfax Health District will open a new Community Vaccination Center (CVC), a large-scale COVID-19 vaccination clinic, in the former Lord & Taylor building in Tysons Corner.

This opening is part of a larger initiative to increase the number of high-throughput COVID-19 vaccination locations across Virginia. Please note: appointments are required for COVID-19 vaccinations at Fairfax CVC.

CVC sites increase the number of vaccinations that can be administered to the public by adding additional sites to those already operated by local health departments, pharmacies, healthcare providers, and healthcare facilities. The Fairfax CVC is the eighth CVC opened in Virginia. Locations are selected using a health equity lens and based on population reach, COVID-19 impact, and accessibility.

To support the Fairfax Health District’s transition to Phase 2, the Fairfax CVC will initially partner with the Fairfax County Health Department to complete first-dose vaccinations of all Phase 1 eligible individuals currently on the county’s registration waitlist. If you receive a COVID-19 vaccination appointment at the Fairfax CVC, please follow the directions listed below.

In coming weeks, the Fairfax CVC will be listed in vaccinefinder.org, along with other vaccination sites in the Fairfax Health District, allowing all individuals who are 16 or older to directly schedule a vaccine appointment. Appointments are required for all vaccinations at the Fairfax CVC site.

The Fairfax CVC is organized by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), in cooperation with the Fairfax County Health Department and the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management.
