Arlington County will close its public vaccine clinic, as well as almost all of its COVID-19 testing kiosks, before the end of the year.

“Demand has significantly decreased at the county’s clinic, with COVID-19 vaccines now widely available in the community through pharmacies, urgent care centers, and medical providers,” the county said in a press release this week.

The clinic, which is located in Sequoia Plaza on Washington Boulevard, will close Dec. 17.

“What started as a small team in Dec. 2020 quickly grew into hundreds of staff and volunteers, operating six clinics and dozens of special events, allowing us to administer more than 215,000 doses of the vaccine,” said Dr. Reuben Varghese, the county’s public health director, in a statement. “I am incredibly proud and forever grateful for everyone who helped in the fight against COVID-19.”

The county will also be closing its Curative COVID-19 testing kiosks on Nov. 30, spare the kiosk at the Arlington Mill Community Center, which will remain open until Dec. 31. The county says that the kiosks — which first came into use in Jan. 2021 — have seen an 80% decrease in use since Nov. 2021, largely because of expanded at-home and pharmacy-based testing options.

The closures are an indication of how parts of the Washington region is largely trying to move past the pandemic, or at least the mass government response that was first mounted when COVID-19 case spread was higher. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Arlington County’s is at a low COVID-19 community level, and the Virginia Department of Health says the county’s seven-day average is 30. Last December, in the midst of the Omicron wave, the seven-day average was 646.

While D.C.’s COVID case rate is similarly low, the city still operates eight COVID Centers where people can get free vaccinations and boosters, as well as take-home tests and masks. The City of Alexandria still offers testing through Curative and offering vaccines at its health department. Montgomery County also operates public vaccine clinics, as does Prince George’s County, though both require appointments.
