Virginia's vaccine coordinator worried some areas will see localized COVID outbreaks
Dr. Avula: Expect localized outbreaks through summer with higher surge likely in the fall
In Central Virginia, several localities still fall below less than 50% of adults fully vaccinated. That includes Richmond, Prince George, Dinwiddie, Petersburg, Hopewell, and Caroline. Dr. Danny Avula said improvement will take small, locally focused efforts. "How do we craft the right messages? How do we engage people? We know there's no magic bullet that's all of a sudden going to get hundreds or thousands of people to get vaccinated," said Avula.
