GRETNA, Va. – A family-owned pharmacy in Pittsylvania County continues to push Virginia’s COVID-19 vaccination effort forward.
Gretna Drug has vaccinated about 3,000 people since it started offering doses in January, according to owner and pharmacist Chapman Brown. The pharmacy has gone from administering thirty vaccines a day to organizing clinics where up to 400 people are vaccinated at one time.
“There’s enough need to go around for everyone, so we’re just glad to do whatever we can,” Brown said. “I’m very pleased. I think we’re fortunate we can be here to take care of the folks and do this.”
