In this case "va" is used to make sure somebody is doing what you are asking him or her to do, "Cuídate mucho va." take a lot of care, will you?/ no hables con extraños en el metro,va? it's really a tag question. This use of "VA" is very common in Venezuela and Colombia.

I believe va is short for vale, okay.

Take care of yourself, okay
