PARKERSBURG – Within a day of its creation, a stand-by list for people age 65 and older wanting the COVID-19 vaccine grew to more than 5,000 names.
With just 500 vaccination slots available for today’s clinic at West Virginia University at Parkersburg, the department announced Wednesday it would fill those and future appointments from the list, rather than have people call the department.
