RICHMOND, Va. - The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) announced it will delay the opening of some Community Vaccination Centers (CVCs) and Community Testing Centers (CTCs) on Thursday, January 20 and close all vaccination and testing centers early on Thursday and Friday, January 21 as winter storms are expected to impact the state.

The CVCs and CTCs in Fairfax and Prince William will operate from 12-5 p.m. on Thursday, along with the CVC in Fredericksburg.
All other CVC and CTC locations will open at their regular time and close at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
All locations are expected to open at their regular time on Friday and close at 5 p.m. because of another expected winter storm.
The Hampton Roads CVCs are at Military Circle Mall in Norfolk and in the Sherwood Shopping Center in Newport News.
A decision will be made Friday afternoon about operations on Saturday. Please check VDH’s website and social media accounts for this information.
