On Wednesday, Blue Ridge Health Department Director Denise Bonds was telling people there was enough vaccine to meet demand, but late that afternoon she and other districts learned that – in fact – supplies were being cut.
“There are five million Virginians who are currently eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, she explained. Virginia gets, each week, 105,000 doses for the whole state, so you can see there is considerable demand and not much supply.”
The state’s vaccine coordinator, Danny Avula, said that situation would change. We are hearig from the federal government that this is likely what we can expect for the next few weeks at least. The Biden administration has come in and said we re going to get 100 million doses in 100 days. Some of that will happen because of the entry of new vaccines. Some of it may happen because of increased production by Pfizer and Moderna, he told reporters.
