Gretna Drug holds vaccine clinic for ages 12 and up

GRETNA, Va. — Gretna Drug Company, Inc. is now administering the Pfizer vaccine to children aged 12-17. Storeowner and registered pharmacist, H. Chapman Brown III, is optimistic about Gretna’s vaccine clinic as another step toward vaccinating as many people as possible to help staunch the spread of COVID-19. “The Pfizer vaccine is currently approved for people 12 and older,” Brown said. Parents may schedule appointments for their children to receive the Pfizer vaccine, as well as getting vaccinated themselves. Right now, the Moderna vaccine is only being administered to adults. The vaccine clinic at Gretna Drug has been up and running since Jan. 11, 2021. However, this week marks the first vaccine clinic for children as young as 12 years old to receive their COVID-19 vaccine at Gretna Drug.

1972 board member: We were the most influential Board of Supervisors in Pittsylvania County history

CHATHAM, Va. — The 2020 proposed budget for the County of Pittsylvania was over $180 million. In 1972, that budget was 93 percent smaller. That was also the year that W. T. Tommy Gatewood would begin to affect some of the most significant changes in the history of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors. In 1972, Gatewood was elected to become the first representative of the Westover District, before it was annexed into Danville City. Gatewood, who served as a board member until 1984, said that the board he served on was the most influential board in the county s history. When we went on the board, we saw the things that needed to be done, he recounted. I m not saying that the previous boards were negligible in what they did, but we only had a clerk of the board, and all he did was keep the minutes and write checks. We knew that if the county was going to ever progress, we had to make some changes. We had to do some things and bite some bullets and make things happen
