Press release from the City of Alexandria:

Aug 6, 2021 at 6:12 PM

Help end the pandemic by wearing a
mask over both your nose and mouth, washing your hands frequently, and
getting vaccinated. Approximately 1 in 20 Alexandrians who have tested positive for COVID-19 have required hospitalization, so without these critical steps, additional lives may be at risk.

CDC Vaccination Card Replacements

Alexandria, along with the rest of the country, has transitioned to a standard card issued by the CDC. If you would like to replace your old vaccination card with an updated card from the CDC, or if you have since lost your vaccination card, please submit your information through an
online form or call the Alexandria COVID-19 Hotline at 703.746.4988. Please note that the Alexandria Health Department (AHD) will process these requests on a first-come, first-served basis and may require up to three weeks to complete a request. Additionally, AHD is only able to provide replacement CDC cards to individuals who received their vaccinations during AHD clinics. If you received your vaccine from another provider and need a record of your vaccination, please visit
vaccinate.virginia.gov.
