Widow of COVID-19 victim becomes first to receive Phase 1b vaccine at Centra

This morning, Centra Medical Group Nationwide vaccinated its first patient in Phase 1b of vaccine rollout in Virginia, which went into effect Jan. 18 in the Pittsylvania-Danville and Southside Health Districts.
The Lynchburg-based hospital system with a prominent community hospital in Gretna vaccinated Mrs. Irene Devine, an elderly woman with ample reason in wishing to arm herself against COVID-19.
"My husband died of COVID, and then I contracted it," Devine said. "I just believe in the science of it. I have a daughter that's a scientist and she thinks it's great. I have another daughter who's a nurse and she thinks it's great. And my son is a doctor and he's already had his. So those are all good reasons, I think."
