State pre-registration no longer required for coronavirus vaccine

You no longer have to schedule an appointment days in advance ahead of time to get the coronavirus vaccine. 

Today, the Prince William Health District says residents simply visit vase.vdh.virginia.gov and schedule their vaccination appointment with the Prince William Health District (PWHD).

Once in VASE, enter your Zip Code, then select 25-miles for the Distance Range(10-miles – too limiting, clinic options may not show). You have the option to select the vaccine type and the date and time for your vaccination.

Vaccine clinic options for the PWHD:

  1. Manassas Mall – 8300 Sudley Rd, Manassas, VA 20109 (Moderna vaccine approved for 18 and older)
  2. Gander Mountain in Woodbridge – 14041 Worth Ave, Woodbridge, VA 22192 (Pfizer vaccine approved for 16 and older)

Gander Mountain Accepting a Limited Number of WALK-INS a Day

Today, Thursday, April 29, the Community Vaccine Clinic (CVC) at Gander Mountain in Woodbridge started accepting walk-ins. The number of walk-ins will be limited each day, dependent on appointment availability.

For those who have a scheduled appointment for a first or second dose, your appointment date and time remains unchanged.

For any questions, you can call Virginia’s call center at 877-829-4682. The call center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, Governor Ralph Northam today amended Executive Order Seventy-Two to adopt new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on mask use in outdoor settings. 

The CDC guidelines state that fully vaccinated individuals do not have to wear masks outdoors when alone or in small gatherings. Mask use is still required indoors and outdoors at large crowded events like concerts, sporting events, and graduation ceremonies. People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last required dose of vaccine.

“The CDC’s recommendations underscore what we have said all along—vaccinations are the way we will put this pandemic behind us and get back to normal life,” said Governor Northam. “Our increasing vaccination rate and decreasing number of new COVID-19 cases has made it possible to ease mitigation measures in a thoughtful and measured manner.’

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
