Aug 27, 2021

Loudoun County issued the following announcement on Aug. 25

The Loudoun County Health Department will begin operating a COVID-19 vaccination site at Sterling Elementary School on Saturday, September 4, 2021. The new vaccination site is located at 200 West Church Road in Sterling. The county’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Sterling Elementary School will be open every Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by appointment only until further notice. Vaccinations at this location are free and open to everyone age 12 years and over. The new location replaces the vaccination site at the Dulles Town Center, which will close permanently on Friday, September 3.

“We are committed to being a COVID-19 vaccine provider for those unable to obtain vaccine through their medical provider or neighborhood pharmacy and we appreciate the partnership with Loudoun County Public Schools that makes that possible,” said Loudoun County Health Director Dr. David Goodfriend.

COVID-19 vaccine is now widely available throughout Loudoun County from many providers, such as medical offices and pharmacies including, but not limited to, CVS, Giant Food, Harris Teeter, Safeway, Walgreens, Walmart and Wegmans. The Health Department encourages everyone 12 and older who has not yet been vaccinated to visit vaccines.gov to find the vaccination site nearest to you, particularly if getting vaccine on a weekday is more convenient.

In addition to vaccination, to help curb the increase in COVID-19 cases that Loudoun County has been experiencing, the Health Department recommends everyone:

Wear a mask in indoor public settings
Stay 6 feet away from people who do not live in your household
Cover your coughs and sneezes
Wash your hands frequently
Stay home when sick
Avoid contact with sick people
Know the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and get tested if you’re symptomatic, or if potentially exposed to COVID-19, regardless of your vaccination status.
