(Norfolk-Va.) –  With the continued rise in COVID-19 cases across the Commonwealth, public health officials urge residents to become vaccinated as soon as possible to prevent further spread of illness. It’s not too late to get vaccinated. 

"All members of the community, 12 years of age and above, should become fully vaccinated as soon as possible. Those delaying vaccinations are putting themselves, and potentially those around them at risk,” said Dr. Parham Jaberi, Acting Health Director for the Norfolk and Virginia Beach Health Departments.

To facilitate access to vaccinations, VDH continues its regional vaccination collaborative at the Military Circle Mall (located at 880 N Military Highway). This successful effort will continue into August. The clinics next week will be held on Tuesday, July 27, 2021, from 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday, July 29, 2021 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Walk-ins will be accepted, but advanced registration is encouraged.
