Let's Get Vaccinated, Virginia!
Everyone in Virginia age 12 or older is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine now! Pre-registration is no longer required.
Certain groups are now eligible for a COVID-19 booster, if they received the Pfizer vaccine and if it’s been 6 months or more since their last shot.
We recommend these groups receive a booster this fall:

- Ages 50-64 with an underlying medical condition.
In addition, these groups may also benefit from a booster this fall:
- Ages 18-49 with an underlying medical condition
- Ages 18-64 with an increased risk COVID-19 because of where they work or live.
