Virginia residents age 50 and over should be aware that they may receive messages from health authorities and those messages are legit.
On Monday, November 28, residents aged 50+ in the Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Three Rivers, and Virginia Beach Health Districts started receiving text and voice messages reminding them that they are eligible for the COVID-19 Bivalent Booster.
Virginia Department of Health (VDH) said members of this population will only receive a message if records indicate they are eligible for, but have not yet received, a bivalent booster.
The voice/text messages are just one more way VDH is reaching out to let Virginians know they can get a free bivalent booster at many locations, including health care providers, local pharmacies, and health departments around the state.
The message will read: Virginia Department of Health records indicate you are eligible for a COVID-19 bivalent booster. Schedule an appointment at https://vaccines.gov/ or call (877) 829-4682.
Contact information from the resident’s immunization record will determine whether they receive a text message for mobile numbers or a phone call for landlines.
Individuals do not need to wait for this notification to get a bivalent booster.
If you have questions about your eligibility to receive a bivalent booster, or believe you have been contacted in error, please contact the VDH call center for a review of your record. Call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1). Assistance is available in English, Spanish, and more than 100 other languages.
