How Do I?

The Fairfax County Health Department expects to receive additional vaccine supplies during the week of August 8 and encourages exposed or at-risk individuals to call the FCHD call center at 703-267-3511. Call center staff will send a link to a screening form and those who are eligible will then be put into a queue to schedule a vaccination appointment as vaccines become available.

Update: August 10, 2022

The Fairfax County Health Department is aware of the FDA’s emergency authorization that enables a change in how the currently licensed Jynneos vaccine is administered, which was issued late Tuesday, Aug. 9. The Fairfax County Health Department is awaiting further guidance from the Virginia Department of Health. Staff are preparing for potential changes in vaccine administration, processes, and procedures. For the time being, the current process will remain in effect. More information will be provided here as soon as it becomes available. 

Ensuring children are up-to-date on their vaccinations helps provide immunity before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Vaccines are safe and effective.

Get caught up on well check-ups and recommended childhood immunizations now. Don't wait to schedule your appointments. See where to get immunizations and find clinic details.
