Fairfax County Offers Vaccination Teams
 
10/11/2021 03:36 PM

As the business community processes the six-part COVID-19 Action Plan put forward by the Biden Administration to combat the Delta variant, including the vaccine requirement covering private businesses with more than 100 employees, the Fairfax County Health Department stands ready to assist in supporting you and your employees in getting vaccinated.

 

COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in locations across the Fairfax County health district — and now the Health Department or a partner vaccinator may even come to you!

 

Businesses and community event organizers can request a vaccination team to provide COVID-19 vaccines or education/outreach services so that people can learn more about the vaccines.

 

Requests will be reviewed and matched with an outreach or nursing team from the Fairfax County Health Department. Every attempt will be made to support your event with the best resources for your audience on the date and time of your submitted request. However, because many events take place around the health district every day, submitting a form is not a guarantee that a team is available for your event. The Health Department will fulfill as many requests as possible and will prioritize events with an equity lens. We request 14 days prior notice to help our teams plan for a successful event.

 

If you are a business owner or event organizer and are interested in increasing vaccination rates in our community, submit a request to the Health Department here.

 

Cases in the Fairfax Health District are continuing to increase because of the Delta variant. Most transmission is happening among the unvaccinated and in areas with low vaccination rates, making it more urgent than ever to get employees vaccinated. You know your communities and your employees — if you believe the Health Department can help them understand the benefits of vaccination and provide easier access to COVID vaccines, please let us know about your group or event.

 

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. They also help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our community. Visit the Health Department’s vaccine website for more information
