These clinics will be in the Portsmouth and Peninsula Health Districts.
Designed to reach unvaccinated Virginians at times and places that are closer and more convenient, these mobile clinics will offer free COVID-19 vaccines in a series of local clinics, primarily in rural and underserved areas where vaccine access can be challenging.
These vendor-operated, mobile vaccination clinics will move from place to place to support local health department efforts in the region and across the state.
