Flu Immunizations

  • From CDC's Flu Website: Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every season with rare exceptions.
  • Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza.
  • Flu vaccination has important benefits.
    • It can reduce flu illnesses, visits to doctor’s offices, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as make symptoms less severe and reduce flu-related hospitalizations and deaths in people who get vaccinated but still get sick.
    • Trivalent flu vaccines protect against three different influenza viruses.

RHHD Flu Immunization opportunities:

We offer flu vaccinations during our immunization clinics. Call our contact center to get more information and to schedule an appointment: 804-205-3500.

Covid Immunizations

  • People aged 6 months and older can receive the 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccines based on individual-based decision-making with a healthcare provider. This includes pharmacists. 
    • In Virginia, people aged 3 years and older may receive a COVID-19 vaccine at a pharmacy without a prescription.
    • Some pharmacies do not vaccinate young children – so check with them first about age requirements. 
  • Other professional organizations have published their COVID-19 recommendations that differ from CDC’s recommendations. These organizations include: 
  • People interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine should talk to a healthcare provider. 
  • Read the Virginia Department of Health COVID-19 vaccine FAQs.
  • The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
  • It is especially important to get your 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine if you are ages 65 and older or are at high risk for severe COVID-19.
  • Vaccine protection decreases over time, so it is important to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine.

RHHD Covid Immunization opportunities:

We will be offering Covid vaccinations during our immunization clinics. Call our contact center to get more information and to schedule an appointment: 804-205-3500.

RSV Immunizations

General Information from CDC:

  • Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms.
  • Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious. Infants and older adults are more likely to develop severe RSV and need hospitalization.
  • Vaccines are available to protect older adults from severe RSV.
  • Vaccines for pregnant people or monoclonal antibody products are available to protect infants and young children from severe RSV.

RHHD RSV Immunization opportunities:

If interested in getting an RSV vaccine, please call our contact center at 804-205-3500 and a nurse will need to determine eligibility, inventory and appointment time.
