A mass vaccination clinic serving the Fredericksburg region will close.
A Community Vaccination Center in Central Park will close on March 5, the Rappahannock Area Health District reports. The days and hours the center will be open during its final week will be Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Central Park center has administered more than 36,000 free coronavirus vaccines since it opened in early October 2021. As more people have become vaccinated and the vaccines have become widely available at doctor’s offices and pharmacies, demand has decreased, states the health district.
Now, the Virginia Department of Health will shift the focus to its mobile program to provide free vaccines to people in areas where access is more challenging.
The Rappahannock Area Health District will continue to provide free coronavirus vaccines in local health department locations. Appointments are not required but are encouraged.
