COLUMBIA, S.C. The Columbia VA Health Care System continues to wait for the coronavirus vaccine to distribute once it arrives.
The state of South Carolina started receiving the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, Dec. 14.
So far, the vaccine has made its way to the Conway Medical Center, the Lexington Medical Center and Prisma Health.
News 19 checked in with the Columbia VA Health Care System to find out if they have received vaccines yet or not. Even though our site was not selected for the Pfizer vaccine, we expect that the Moderna vaccine will be authorized soon, and our facility may receive vaccine doses at that time, said Dillon McConnell, a Public Affairs Officer for the healthcare system.
