Blue Ridge Health District brings forward important vaccination updates By Riley Wyant | February 16, 2021 at 6:43 PM EST - Updated February 17 at 10:45 AM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The Blue Ridge Health District is clearing up some crucial vaccine confusion tonight. With a new vaccine registration system in place and winter weather on the way, BRHD officials want to get updated information out about the vaccination process.
BRHD Officials say limited supply continues to be an overwhelming issue.
“As Governor Northam has reported, it will be March or April before we see significant increases in vaccine to meet the demand. So we are currently receiving 2,850 doses per week,” BRHD Incident Commander Ryan McKay said. “So we are working with a very small number to try to distribute and dispense to a large population across our health district.”
