COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

• The Health Department began vaccine distribution in March to the practices that have met all of the CDC requirements. See: Select Private Health Care Providers to Offer COVID-19 Vaccine.
• To enroll as a provider, you must complete the CDC COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Agreement. Once that enrollment is approved by VDH, the Health Department will reach out to you to assure compliance with all aspects of the vaccine agreement and arrange for vaccine distribution.
• If you have submitted a Provider Intent Form and are still interested in becoming a provider, but have not yet been contacted by VDH, please contact VIIS_Helpdesk@vdh.virginia.gov.
• For additional information about vaccine distribution, please see FAQs for health care providers.

Volunteer Vaccinators

Volunteer vaccinators are needed to support the continuing COVID-19 vaccination expansion. Eligible health care providers may register to volunteer as a COVID-19 vaccinator through either the newly-established Virginia Volunteer Vaccinator Registry (VVVR) or the Medical Reserve Corps. 

The VVVR is a temporary COVID-19 emergency program administered by VDH and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management established through Virginia House Bill 2333. This program allows non-traditional vaccinators to now be eligible providers once they complete a short training and meet the supervision requirements if they only wish to serve during the COVID-19 response. Learn more about the VVVP and register to volunteer.

Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering with the Medical Reserve Corps as a vaccinator and have an active license as a MD/DO, Physician Assistant, Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Practical Nurse, Pharmacist, Dentist, Dental Hygienist, or Veterinarian, we encourage you to register here.
