Norfolk, Virginia — The fight against COVID-19 continues next week as the Norfolk Tides join FEMA, Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Virginia Department of Health, and the City of Norfolk to provide an additional opportunity for residents to receive their COVID-19 vaccine. Fans attending the May 18th opening day game at Harbor Park will have the opportunity to be vaccinated with the single -shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
