Let's Get Vaccinated, Virginia!

Everyone in Virginia Age 5 or older is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine now! Here’s how to get your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd dose.

Certain groups are now eligible for a COVID-19 booster. For individuals who received the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and if it’s been 6 months or more since their last shot.

We recommend these groups receive a booster this fall:

Ages 65 and older
Residents in a long-term care setting
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.

For individuals who received a Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.

Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received and others may prefer to get a different booster.

Talk with your health care provider to see if a booster is right for you.
