A series of vaccination clinics will be held across the region as students prepare to return to the classroom.
Back to School clinics
Two Back-to-School vaccination clinics will be held.
The first will be held at Manassas Mall, 8300 Sudley Road, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The clinic will be located at the entrance next to Uptown Alley.
The following vaccines will be provided:
- Hepatitis A — Kindergarten
- Meningococcal – 7th grade
- Tdap – 7th grade
- Phizer’s version of the coronavirus vaccine for those 12 and older
Parents should bring their child’s vaccination records with them, and a parent or guardian must be with the child at the time of vaccination.
Officials will also require a copy of the child’s insurance card, although insurance status will not determine a child’s eligibility to receive a vaccine.
It’s a walk-in appointment, so no appointments are necessary.

County vax rate
The Prince William Health District is holding both the back-to-school and coronavirus vaccination clinics. It’s using its mobile clinic unit for the coronavirus vaccination. The mobile clinic is one way the county is trying to increase the vaccination rate for the population, making it easier to get a coronavirus shot.
It’s estimated 64% of the county’s population is fully vaccinated against coronavirus disease.
In related news, we’re expecting a decision this week from Prince William County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. LaTanya McDade on whether or not children must wear facemasks when returning to the classroom on Monday, August 23.
