Augusta Health is vaccinating everyone age 12 and older who lives, works or goes to school in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are authorized for individuals age 18 and over. Pfizer vaccine is authorized for individuals age 12 and older; a parent or guardian must be present to consent to vaccination of those under the age of 18.

The focus of vaccinations efforts has shifted from the large-scale, on-campus mass vaccination clinics to smaller, more convenient neighborhood-based clinics throughout the community. Large clinics will still be scheduled regularly, but in half-day increments.

Community-based clinics

Augusta Health also provides off-campus, community-based clinics in partnership with local organizations, churches and schools. The number of these clinics has increased significantly.

This week, these community clinics are scheduled. Walk-ins/Drive-ins are welcome at community clinics:

Tuesday, June 29

  • Augusta Health’s Fitness Center: A clinic with Spanish interpreters available from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. (Moderna).

Wednesday, June 30

  • Central United Methodist Church in Staunton from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. (Johnson & Johnson).
  • Waynesboro High School from 1 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Pfizer).

Thursday, July 1

  • Drive-Thru Clinic at Waynesboro Urgent Care from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. (Pfizer).

Community organizations that would like to partner with Augusta Health for a Vaccination Clinic can contact [email protected] for more information on the requirements.
