COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Around 1,500 South Carolina veterans received their first doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during a mass vaccination event at Colonial Life Arena Monday.
The Columbia VA Healthcare System partnered with the University of South Carolina to pull the large-scale vaccination clinic together in just one week.
“I basically called up President Caslen middle of last week and said I need your help,” explained Columbia VA CEO David Omura. “Within an hour, he pulled together a full team.”
