How can I get the booster shot?

Individuals seeking boosters may walk up to an RHHD event without an appointment. RHHD requests individuals getting a booster shot to bring their vaccination card; no other documentation to prove eligibility will be required.

Walk-ups are welcome at RHHD COVID-19 vaccination events, but appointments are also available on the VASE+ website or by calling our call center at (804) 205-3501, Monday through Friday, 8 am-5 pm. Check vaccines.gov to find a pharmacy or other clinic near you that offers the vaccine, or find an RHHD vaccination event that works for you.
