The Virginia Department of Health's COVID-19 vaccine registration page went live Feb. 16.
The Virginia Department of Health launched its COVID-19 vaccine registration system Tuesday, available at vaccinate.virginia.gov. A phone hotline will open Wednesday, allowing Virginians who don’t have reliable internet access to register for the vaccine.
The site comes after local health districts had set up local sites for residents to register for vaccines, which are currently available to people age 65 and older, as well as others in high-priority groups such as teachers, medical responders, transportation and grocery store workers. Those local registration sites — with the exception of the Fairfax Health Department, which is maintaining its own system — are now closed, although VDH officials say that people on local health department waiting lists do not need to re-register on the new statewide site.
“Data migration is continuing throughout the week and it may take several days for your name to appear in the centralized system,” VDH reports. “Everyone who has previously registered is still on the list, and their status will not be affected.”
