NORFOLK, VIRGINIA — FEMA will be departing from the Military Circle
Mall Community Vaccination Center site on May 22, 2021 and handing
operations over to the Virginia Department of Health. Since the center
has opened the vaccination team has administered more than 80,000
doses of vaccine. One of the most important goals of the Military
Circle Mall Community Vaccination Center was to help vaccinate the
underserved and the most vulnerable communities of Hampton Roads.
These communities have received more than 50% of the doses that have
been administered by the Military Circle Mall Community Vaccination
Center.

In addition to FEMA’s efforts at the Military Circle Mall location,
FEMA also supported more than thirty community-based vaccination
clinics across the Hampton Roads area by providing doses of the
COVID-19 vaccine and medical staff. A video overview of these efforts
across the Hampton Roads area is available on YouTube:

“This could not have been accomplished without the help and
assistance from all of our partners, the Virginia Department of Health
(VDH), the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), the
City of Norfolk, the U.S. Navy, the Virginia National Guard, and our
volunteer partners at Volunteer Hampton Roads and Team Rubicon,”
said Janice Barlow, Acting Regional Administrator, FEMA Region 3.
“We would like to thank everyone who had a hand in making this
happen. It is only through this type of collaboration that we can
continue to provide an effective response to the nation’s
emergencies.”

The Virginia Department of Health, along with the Virginia Department
of Emergency Management and the City of Norfolk will continue to
administer second doses of the Pfizer vaccine at various clinics in 
the Hampton Roads area, including the Norfolk Health Department
located at 830 Southampton Ave. in Norfolk, VA. Any resident that
would like to get vaccinated at a local health department can find
details on locations and availability at
https://vaccinate.virginia.gov/, or residents can go to the Vaccine
Finder at https://www.vaccines.gov/. [https://vaccinate.virginia.gov/]

Residents who received their first dose of vaccination at a Virginia
Department of Health site, such as Military Circle Mall, can visit any
location for their second dose that is providing the type of vaccine
they received. A Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card showing proof of
first vaccination must be provided.

If you have misplaced your vaccination card, the Virginia Department
of Health can send you a copy of your record. To request a copy visit
