County Employee Vaccine Requirement
Beginning this Fall, all Fairfax County employees will be required to be fully vaccinated or submit weekly COVID-19 testing as a condition of employment. Employees who request an exemption from the vaccine mandate for medical or religious reasons will be subject to the weekly testing requirement.
The COVID-19 vaccine is widely available, with many places offering same-day appointments and walk-in services. Please visit www.vaccines.gov to find a location near you or visit the Health Department website.
COVID-19 Vaccine Third Dose
Health Department Accepting Requests for Vaccine Services
Businesses and community event organizers can now request to host a vaccination team to provide COVID-19 vaccines or education/outreach services.
Cases in the Fairfax Health District are continuing to increase with the spread of the Delta variant, which spreads more than twice as easily as previous variants. Most transmission is happening among the unvaccinated and in areas with low vaccination rates, making it more urgent than ever to get vaccinated if eligible. 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.
