COVID-19
If you're looking for a COVID vaccine, booster, test, or care, we can help. Get answers to your questions and see all the resources we offer for COVID.
Supply Shortages
China’s COVID lockdown has led to a U.S.-wide shortage in materials used for some imaging scans. We project the shortage to last through at least July 1. At UVA Health, we're using alternatives when we can. We're also prioritizing imaging procedures for patients with critical health needs and for lifesaving treatments. If we need to reschedule your imaging appointment, we’ll contact you directly.
Visitor Guidelines
Visitor restrictions due to COVID remain in place. This includes people coming with patients to clinic appointments. Also: Everyone must wear a mask. Before you visit a UVA Health building, check for policy updates.
