Residents of over 800 long term care facilities in Virginia will start receiving the COVID19 vaccination starting this week provided by CVS due to a federal partnership with the company.
According to Dr. Troy Brennan, executive vice president and chief medical officer at CVS Health, the company will send teams with full protective equipment and provide vaccinations to âall the people who work in the long term care facilities as well as all the people who consented to have the vaccinations who are patients there. Then, weâll go back again and yet again to do the second dose and to make sure we capture anyone else who has come through the system up to that point.
