Community Vaccination Center To Close At The End Of June

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA — Woodbridge's Community Vaccination Center will close its doors at the end of June, the Prince William Health District said. The Community Vaccination Center, which is run by the Virginia Department of Health, began vaccinating residents in March.

The decision to shut down the center comes as more than 50 percent of eligible residents in Prince William County are fully vaccinated. 60 percent of eligible people, those aged 12 or older, have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

In the Prince William Health District, which encompasses Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and the City of Manassas Park, daily vaccination rates have declined since the end of April. On April 30, 5,800 vaccine doses were administered, according to the health district's dashboard. The health district has not vaccinated more than 4,900 people in any day since.

The last day to receive a coronavirus vaccine from the Community Vaccination Center will be Saturday, June 26. The center will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. this Sunday, June 6, to accommodate any additional demand. For the rest of the month, the center will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Monday through Saturday each week.

The center offers the one-shot Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine to anyone over the age of 18, and the two-shot Pfizer vaccine to anyone aged 12 or older. Coronavirus vaccine appointments can be scheduled online. The Community Vaccination Center is located at 14041 Worth Ave., Woodbridge, VA 22192.

In addition to vaccinations available at the Community Vaccination Center, the Prince William Health District will offer the Pfizer vaccine at its mobile clinics this weekend.

On Saturday, June 5, the mobile clinic will vaccinate people at Metz Middle School, located at 9950 Wellington Rd, Manassas, VA 20110. The mobile clinic will be there from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The clinic will administer the Pfizer vaccine to people aged 12 or older. Any children who are getting vaccinated must have a parent or guardian with them, the health district said. Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are recommended.

On Sunday, June 6, the clinic will vaccinate residents at the Americana Grocery Store, located at 14428 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Woodbridge, VA 22191. The clinic will accept appointments from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They will also administer the Pfizer vaccine. Again, walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are highly recommended.
