Montgomery: Vaccines against COVID-19 will soon be available at more than 70 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across Alabama, the company and the state announced. The retailer said people who meet the state’s eligibility requirements can begin signing up for appointments, and the immunizations begin Friday. Part of the program’s aim is to get the vaccine into areas without adequate medical services, the company said. That includes the south Alabama town of Brewton, which the company said was chosen to get the vaccine because other immunization sites are so far away. More than 1,000 Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies in Alabama and 21 other states are receiving federal vaccine allocations this week. Gov. Kay Ivey said the state was grateful for the doses but urged patience since each store will have a limited supply

CHARLESTON The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has canceled three events for spring and summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canceled for the second consecutive year was the Make It Shine Earth Day Celebration, West Virginia Youth Environmental Day and Junior Conservation Camp. The events also were canceled in 2020 because of COVID restrictions.
“It is with heartfelt sadness that we are announcing the cancellation of these events,” said Annette Hoskins, director of the Youth Environmental Program (YEP). “We understand how important they are to the young people of our state and we recognize their tremendous value from an environmental education standpoint. But, after much discussion regarding logistical issues and taking into account the significant amount of uncertainty still surrounding COVID-19, we did not feel we could move forward with the events and guarantee the safety of all those involved.”
