People can make COVID vaccination appointments as late as 7:45 p.m. on those
days.

The
Tysons CVC is offering the Pfizer vaccine for people 12 years old and up.
It also provides the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to people age 18 and
older who request it.

The
center is open 8:30 a.n.-5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and
Saturdays and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The
Tysons CVC is organized by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management
(VDEM) and the Virginia Department of Health in cooperation with the
Fairfax County Health Department and the Fairfax County Office of Emergency
Management. The site is operated by Ashbritt/IEM under contract with VDEM.

The COVID vaccine will
continue to be available at locations throughout the Fairfax Health District,
including private healthcare providers, pharmacies, grocery stores, urgent care
clinics, and the Health Department. Find a site and book an appointment here. 

As of June 4, the Fairfax
County Health Department has demobilized its COVID community testing sites and
is transitioning
COVID testing to its traditional clinics. 

Starting June 7, residents who exhibit
COVID-like symptoms and do not have access to testing options available in the
community may schedule an appointment for testing at a Fairfax County Health
Department clinic by calling 703-324-7404.

The Health Department
will not conduct COVID testing for people who don’t have symptoms but need
routine testing for travel, to return to work or school, or need proof of a negative
test for other purposes.

Other testing options are
widely available through healthcare providers, urgent care centers, and
pharmacies. Find a testing site here. 

Fully vaccinated people with no COVID symptoms do not
need to be tested following exposure to someone with COVID. People who
have tested positive for COVID within the past three months and recovered
also do not need to get tested following an exposure as long as they do not
develop new symptoms.

The
CDC recommends that anyone with any COVID symptoms get tested, regardless of
vaccination status or prior infection.
