CHARLESTON Another 20,000 doses of vaccine are coming to West Virginia next week, enabling a greater emphasis on vaccinations in the Eastern Panhandle, state officials said Wednesday.
The number of doses will increase from around 52,000 to 72,000, Gov. Jim Justice said during his Wednesday morning pandemic briefing. Jefferson and Berkeley counties have the smallest percentages of fully vaccinated residents, 6.8 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively.
“I have ordered the Joint Interagency Task Force to increase our capacity to deliver the vaccines to our Eastern Panhandle and amp that up as well all across the state,” Justice said.
The task force has worked with West Virginia University Health Sciences and WVU Medicine to increase vaccines for the Eastern Panhandle, said James Hoyer, who heads the Joint Interagency Task Force for COVID-19 Vaccines.
