The New River Health District (NRHD) now offers an online self-scheduling tool to enable those who live and work in the New River Valley to make their appointment to receive a vaccine.
To make an appointment, visit Get an Appointment Now (www.nrvroadtowellness.com/get-an-appointment-now) or call the Vaccine Scheduling Center at 540-838-8222.
“Adding another method to get an appointment helps us vaccinate more people as quickly as possible,” said Noelle Bissell, the district director. “These different options give us flexibility to adapt to changes in vaccine supply and make sure we can use all of the doses and volunteers we have as efficiently as possible.” The New River Health District includes Montgomery, Giles, Floyd, and Pulaski counties and the City of Radford.
In addition to the online self-scheduling, individuals also may continue to seek vaccine appointments by calling the Vaccine Scheduling Center at 540-838-8222. The center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is closed on Sundays. Individuals may also can pre-register any time by visiting www.vaccinate.virginia.gov and providing contact information to receive a return phone call, text, or email to schedule a future vaccine appointment.
“We are still requiring appointments to receive the vaccine for anyone under 65,” said Bissell. “If you are over 65, you may walk in to any of our vaccine clinics with an ID and get your COVID-19 vaccine.”
