Select Private Health Care Providers To Offer COVID-19 Vaccine

Press release from the City of Fairfax:

03/12/2021 10:00 AM

The Fairfax Health Department is pleased to announce that in the coming weeks more partners will begin offering the COVID-19 vaccine. Currently, in the Fairfax Health District, vaccine is being administered by the Health Department and through partnerships primarily with health care organizations, pharmacies and urgent care clinics. There also are several pharmacies in the health district that are offering vaccines through a partnership with the federal government.

Through coordination with the Virginia Department of Health, a small number of private health care providers will also begin offering their patients COVID-19 vaccine. These health care providers have worked with the Virginia Department of Health and the Fairfax County Health Department to ensure they meet the CDC guidelines to be COVID-19 vaccine immunizers.

There are many providers who are still working through the process to become approved. The Fairfax County Health Department is providing assistance to these practices to help them meet the necessary requirements with the goal to increase this number over time so residents will have options to get their vaccination from their trusted provider.

If you receive your vaccine from a private provider and you previously registered with the Health Department, please use this self-cancellation form to remove yourself from the Fairfax Health Department list so others may be be contacted more quickly for a vaccination appointment.

If you meet the current eligibility groups, please register promptly for the COVID-19 vaccine with the Fairfax County Health Department. Or, you also may sign up to receive vaccine from one of the federal pharmacy program partners.
