At Novant Health UVA Health System, your health and safety are our top priority. We know that many of you are excited about the COVID-19 vaccine and its promise of getting our communities back to normal.

Like other preventive measures, including hand hygiene, social distancing and masking, vaccination is recommended to help you avoid contracting COVID-19.

By doing your part when it is your turn, you can help bring the pandemic to an end.

Vaccinations at Novant Health UVA Health System

We are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Virginia Department of Health (VDH) about rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine to get you vaccinated as soon as possible. The phase that the state of Virginia is currently in can be found here.

Novant Health UVA Health System is currently vaccinating healthcare personnel who work in our facilities and in our communities, as well as residents of Novant Health UVA Health System Caton Merchant House. We are also now scheduling vaccinations for patients of Novant Health UVA Health System who are front-line workers with employee badges from an essential industry and people who are 75 years of age and older.

We are closely monitoring the rapidly changing recommendations from the CDC and VDH, and we will update our vaccination program as more information becomes available to us.

As we continue into the next phases of vaccine rollout, we will be contacting our established patients about the availability of vaccines via MyChart. If you do not yet have a MyChart account, please visit NovantHealthUVA.org/MyChart.

Scheduling your COVID-19 vaccine

Once you have a MyChart account, front-line essential workers and community healthcare providers who are existing Novant Health UVA Health System patients should visit Care.NovantHealth.org/vaccine to request a scheduling ticket for your vaccination appointment in MyChart.

If you need support with MyChart, please call 844-2-Novant.
