To the Fairfax County Community,

Today, in addition to this being the Democratic Primary Election Day - the Board met for the first time since last fall in-person rather than electronically. It was great to be with my colleagues again and bring things back to normal and this is largely because of our communities determination to get vaccinated and protect each other.

Before I provide an update on the Board meeting, I have a couple of announcements.

1. Tysons Community Vaccination Center (CVC): Beginning today, June 8, the CVC will operate until 8 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Vaccine appointments on those days can be made as late as 7:45 pm. In addition, the last day to make an appointment or walk in for a COVID-19 vaccine at this site is Saturday, June 26. Vaccine appointments are widely available across the County and can be found here. Read more about the changes at the CVC here.
2. COVID Testing: The Fairfax County Health Department is demobilizing COVID-19 community testing sites it operates at the close of business on Friday, June 4, and will be transitioning COVID-19 testing to their traditional clinic sites. Other testing options will remain operational throughout Fairfax County and are widely available through health care providers, urgent cares centers, and pharmacies.

3. COVID-19 Remembrance Event: Tomorrow, June 9 at 6 pm, Fairfax County will be hosting the Northern Virginia Regional Commission’s COVID-19 Remembrance Ceremony.
