The Virgin Islands Department of Health will offer COVID-19 vaccinations to residents on St. John from 8 a.m. to noon – beginning March 20 – every Saturday through the end of April at the DeCastro Clinic in Cruz Bay.

Additionally, the Community Vaccination Center on St. Thomas has extended its hours and is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

On St. Thomas, the Community Vaccination Center is at the Sports and Fitness Complex at the University of the Virgin Islands. On St. Croix, the Community Vaccination Center is at the Great Hall at UVI.

Vaccinations are available to any resident age 16 or older, and appointments can be scheduled through the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency hotline at 777-8227. Individuals may also schedule their own appointments online by visiting the Department of Health at www.covid19usvi.com/vaccines.

There are no barriers to getting vaccinated. There are accommodations being made for seniors and individuals with disabilities, and being undocumented should not stop anyone from seeking the vaccine.

Anyone who thinks they may have contracted COVID-19 can call the Epidemiology Hotline at 712-6299 or 776-1519. For more information, visit www.covid19usvi.com.

The Bryan-Roach Administration is committed to transparency, stabilizing the economy, restoring trust in the government and ensuring the disaster recovery is completed as quickly as possible.
