Press release from the Arlington County Government: April 27, 2021 Beginning Tuesday, April 27, individuals 16 years and older may directly schedule an appointment to receive a free COVID-19 vaccine at Arlington County public health clinics. Individuals can directly reserve a slot at one of Arlington's public health clinics by visiting the County website – or by searching Vaccinefinder.org for appointments at nearby locations. "Arlington has hit a major milestone in its vaccination efforts by surpassing more than 100,000 doses administered through our public health clinics," said Matt de Ferranti, Chair of the Arlington County Board. " As we continue our work to efficiently vaccinate our residents and do so equitably, open scheduling helps remove barriers to making an appointment and ensures our community can quickly and conveniently access COVID-19 vaccines." Dr. Reuben Varghese, Arlington County Public Health Director added, "Vaccines offer the best form of protection against COVID-19. The more people protected, the better it is for ourselves and our community. We've made significant progress and we need more people vaccinated." Individuals who have pre-registered should have received an invitation to schedule a vaccine appointment. If you have not received an invitation to schedule, please check your spam folder or schedule your appointment now. Individuals ages 16-17 should search for appointment dates where Pfizer is offered. Note: The Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available at public health clinics in the coming days, and it will be noted on the appointment slots.
