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.
