CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Children ages 12-15 are now receiving COVID-19 vaccines through the University of Virginia Health System.
Appointments are required, but as of May 14, children between 12 and 15 are able to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the Seminole Square vaccination site.
Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For Jennifer Menitree, accompanying her children to get vaccinated is a step in the right direction.
“It’s always a little concerning even more so with children than it is with an adult but we trust the medical system and we feel really good about how things are moving on,” she said.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Virginians who are fully vaccinated will soon be able to leave their masks at home, but while the state mandate is lifted at midnight on Friday, May 14, some businesses could still require them.
This is all in accordance with CDC guidelines, so it only applies to those who are fully vaccinated. Governor Northam says businesses will still have the right to require a mask on customers and employees, like many stores did during the day on Friday while waiting for the official word from the state.

ALBEMARLE CO., Va. (WVIR) - Regal Cinema 14 in the Shops at Stonefield is turning its lights back on and reopening the doors Friday, May 14.
The theater is still working to keep everyone safe by allowing people to buy their tickets at a self-serve kiosk or through the Regal App.
“Regal actually has a really awesome place on their website that talks about all the precautions they’re taking on the reopening for COVID. I recommend that anybody go on there and see all of the different things that they’re doing. It’s really well thought out,” Samantha Strong, the general manager of The Shops at Stonefield, said.
