The Progress-Index
PETERSBURG — In the two weeks since the COVID-19 vaccine was released to the market, 57 frontline healthcare workers in Petersburg have received it, according to data released by the Virginia Department of Health.
That total is the largest among the Tri-City area localities, but it is also not surprising, since Petersburg is home to the largest hospital in the immediate vicinity with Bon Secours Southside Regional Medical Center. Eligible personnel there began rolling up their sleeves earlier this week.
