VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. More than 160,000 people in Virginia Beach have had at least their first dose of the vaccine, but there is still a ways to go.
Four months ago, the city opened the convention center mass vaccination clinic. Now they are handing over the operation of this facility to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
“We have built this system; we are vaccinating a lot of people each week,” said Virginia Beach Department of Public Health COO Paul Brumund. “It is just time for someone else to come in and take over that role.”
