The City of Falls Church -- and most of the commonwealth -- continues to be 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.
There is some change in the transmission level for our immediate neighbors. Fairfax County -- apart from the Fairfax Health District -- is in substantial transmission. City of Fairfax is in moderate transmission. The City of Falls Church, Arlington County, and City of Alexandria are all in a high level of transmission.

Note: VDH is working to simplify and streamline COVID-19 data reporting on its web pages. Changes to some of the COVID-19 dashboards will take place in March. VDH will share more information about these changes over the next two weeks.

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.
