The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is coordinating with local health departments and hospital systems to get residents vaccinated against the coronavirus.

In order to get the vaccine, residents must first be eligible for the phase their local health department is currently vaccinating.
All local health departments, including the Peninsula Health District (PHD), are currently vaccinating people in Phase 1a and Phase 1b.Â
