CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - University of Virginia Health System and the Blue Ridge Health District are launching a new COVID-19 vaccination site in Charlottesville. They are hoping this will pick up the pace of vaccine distribution.
UVA Health will give the vaccines at Seminole Square in a building next to Marshalls starting on Sunday. The Blue Ridge Health District is overseeing the distribution as a whole.
“It’s a larger space so we’ll have the capability of providing more vaccinations, as long as we have the supply,” UVA Medical Center CEO Wendy Horton said. “That will be an efficient vaccination location.”
