Mineral Daily News-Tribune
CHARLESTON, WV – During his daily COVID-19 briefing Friday, Gov. Jim Justice provided new details on the different phases of the state’s vaccine allocation plan.
“We will get a limited supply of vaccines at first, so our team of experts are still finalizing the plan to make sure that the vaccines are available to all West Virginians, starting with those who are at the highest risk,” Gov. Justice said.
The Governor explained that there will be two main phases of vaccine allocation. Phase 1 will include those at the highest risk of serious complications from COVID-19, as well as individuals who are essential frontline workers fighting this pandemic. Phase 2 is the general population.
