About the CDC's Isolation and Quarantine Standards
The following is adapted from the Fairfax Health Department blog post.
In alignment with the CDC, the Fairfax County Health Department is updating its recommendations today. These updates include the following:
If You Test Positive for COVID-19 (Isolate)
Everyone, regardless of vaccination status:
- Day 1 to 5:
- Stay home and away from others.
- Day 6 to 10:
- If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving, you can leave your house. Continue to wear a well-fitting mask to reduce any risk of infecting others.
- If you have a fever, continue to stay home until 24 hours after your fever resolves.
If You Were Exposed to Someone with COVID-19 (Quarantine)
If you have been boosted OR received your second dose (and an additional dose if immunocompromised) of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine within the last 6 months OR received your first dose of J&J vaccine within the last two months:
- Day 1 to 10
- Wear a mask around others.
- Test on day 5, if possible.
- If you develop symptoms get a test and stay home.
- If you test positive for COVID-19 during this 10-day period, follow the isolation guidance above
If you received two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines more than six months ago and are not boosted OR received one dose of the J&J vaccine more than two months ago and are not boosted OR are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated:
- Day 1 to 5:
- Stay home and away from others.
- Test on day 5 if possible. If you test positive for COVID-19, follow the isolation guidance above.
- Day 6 to 10:
- Continue to wear a mask around others.
- If you develop symptoms get a test and stay home. If you test positive for COVID-19, follow the isolation guidance above.

Coming Soon: Vaccine Booster for Ages 12 to 15
The FDA has authorized vaccine boosters for children ages 12-15. However, the Fairfax Health Department must wait for clinical guidelines from CDC and VDH, as they do with all vaccine authorizations, prior to booking appointments. Thank you for your patience.

The City of Falls Church -- and the entire commonwealth -- is in a High Level of Transmission of COVID-19. Community members should continue to take precautions by getting vaccinated and boosted, wearing masks, staying socially distant, and staying home when sick.

How to Get a Replacement COVID-19 Vaccination Card or QR Code
|
|
|
If you misplaced your card, or would like a QR code for your COVID-19 vaccination record, complete this process through the Virginia Department of Health.
Please note:
- Your vaccination record will only show COVID-19 immunizations.
- If you received vaccines out of state or if a federal agency administered your vaccines, they will not show up in this self-serve portal.
- This portal is not a “vaccine passport” but serves as a way to prove you were vaccinated for COVID-19.
For additional questions, email the Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS) help desk at vaccinerecord@vdh.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA.
