After-Hours Vaccinations Offered at Elementary Schools
The Health Department, school division, and Giant Pharmacy are partnering to offer free walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics at elementary schools for all residents beginning on Monday.
Children ages 5 to 17 may receive their first or second dose. People over 16 may receive their first or second dose or their booster. People under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The clinic will only offer Pfizer vaccines. According to the Health Department, the Pfizer shot can be used as a booster for those who have already received the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

There’s a concerted effort to get everyone vaccinated for COVID, even children as young as five. That’s fine. I just hope people respect the view of parents who don’t wish to be vaccinated or don’t want their children vaccinated. Personally, I’ve had two jabs of Moderna. But I’d never tell someone else what to do. That isn’t my place. Happy Holidays Loudoun!
I don’t respect that view. It’s reckless, antisocial and invalid. I also really don’t have any respect for freeloaders.
There’s no reason we need to pretend like not doing your duty in this fight against a disruptive, deadly disease is OK.
