WASHINGTON All Health Resources and Services Administration-funded health centers and look-alike health centers in West Virginia have been invited to participate in the COVID-19 Vaccine Program, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said Wednesday.
The program allows 31 health centers in West Virginia to directly order COVID-19 vaccine doses from the federal government, increasing West Virginia’s overall dose allocation, Manchin said. Also, West Virginia will receive an increase of 2,340 Pfizer doses, with the state receiving 53,820 first and second Pfizer doses, 38,600 first and second Moderna doses and 3,300 Johnson & Johnson doses next week, he said.
The decision by the Health Resources and Services Administration to invite all 31 administration-funded health centers in the state to order COVID-19 vaccine doses from the federal government “is wonderful news for the Mountain State,” Manchin said.
