Residents of over 800 long term care facilities in Virginia will start receiving the COVID19 vaccination starting this week provided by CVS due to a federal partnership with the company.
According to Dr. Troy Brennan, executive vice president and chief medical officer at CVS Health, the company will send teams with full protective equipment and provide vaccinations to âall the people who work in the long term care facilities as well as all the people who consented to have the vaccinations who are patients there. Then, weâll go back again and yet again to do the second dose and to make sure we capture anyone else who has come through the system up to that point.

Health experts call the future distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine a huge undertaking. The Commonwealth is recruiting medical volunteers to help with injections and community members to aid in logistics.
Volunteer numbers for the Greater Prince William Medical Reserve Corps nearly doubled since the start of the pandemic. Now, more than 700 residents are signed up to help when coronavirus vaccine distribution begins. Medical experience or expertise is not required. Since volunteers will be considered medical front line workers, they will get the option to be vaccinated in the first round of distribution.
