COVID-19 Vaccine for Children Ages 5-11
Beginning today, November 16, the Fairfax Health District and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, at nine clinics located at schools across Fairfax County.

Clinics will be held after school hours, evenings and weekends at nine school sites, initially. Attendees are not required to be a student at that school; all children (including those who attend private schools or are home-schooled) are welcome. No appointment is necessary at these school-located clinics, and all vaccinations are free. A parent, or other responsible adult, is required to attend with their child.

Families have many other options in the Fairfax Health District to get their children the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, including:
  • Pediatric and Family Medicine Providers: call your child’s doctor to make an appointment.
  • Pharmacies, grocery stores, and urgent care facilities: visit vaccines.gov (www.vacunas.gov) to search for a vaccine appointment.
  • Health Department Vaccination Centers: visit the website to make an appointment, or call 703-324-7404 if you need assistance.

Proposed Expansion of Real Estate Tax Relief Program
On November 9, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a public hearing on December 7 to consider expanding the real estate tax relief program for seniors and people with disabilities. The program may be expanded for the first time in 16 years. The proposed changes include:
  • allowing people with higher incomes and net worth to qualify
  • adding a new 75% tax relief bracket
  • offering an option to defer tax payments.

If approved, these changes would be phased in during the next two years.
Learn more here.
