Two public COVID-19 vaccination sites located in Northern Virginia shopping malls are scheduled to close this week.

The Virginia Department of Health’s Community Vaccination Center in the former Lord & Taylor store in Tysons Corner will close at 4 p.m. Friday, March 25, after providing roughly 58,000 doses of vaccine since opening in October 2021.

The Springfield Town Center (STC) vaccination site, remain open March 26 and 27 from noon-4 p.m. and will close at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 27. This site has been critical in helping to close the equity gap by providing thousands of vaccinations to individuals through a public-private partnership with Fairfax County Health Department’s High Risk Communities Task Force, Medical Reserve Corps Volunteers and Safeway Pharmacy.

Vaccinations remain widely available throughout the Fairfax Health District, including at the Fairfax County Government Center and Hyland South County Center, which will remain open and available for walk-in, free vaccinations. The health department also is continuing its outreach and collaborative work, with multiple community partners, to provide vaccinations clinics at sites across the county, including houses of worship, schools, businesses, and special events.

Fairfax County Health Director Dr. Gloria Addo-Ayensu urges everyone eligible for vaccination or boosters to do so right away. "COVID-19 vaccines remain highly effective in protecting against severe illness, hospitalizations and death,” said Addo-Ayensu. “It is important to stay up to date on vaccinations and continue adhering to layered prevention practices to protect yourself and others.”
