HUNTINGTON â Sen. Joe Manchin recently announced that Valley Health Systems was chosen to receive direct shipments of COVID-19 vaccines through the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) COVID-19 Vaccination Program.
COVID-19 vaccines provided to community health centers under this program are separate from the stateâs weekly allocation, and will increase the overall vaccine supply in the state. Shenandoah Valley Medical System also was chosen to participate.
âThe HRSA COVID-19 Vaccination Program is aimed at ensuring equitable vaccine distribution across the state and our health centers, who serve roughly 27% of West Virginians, are well equipped to do just that. Vaccines are essential to defeating this horrible virus and I am incredibly pleased that our health centers have been chosen to receive doses directly,â Manchin said in a news release.
