Gov. Ralph Northam speaks March 9, 2021, during his COVID-19 news conference.
The state will launch large-scale COVID-19 vaccination clinics beginning next week in Petersburg, Portsmouth and Danville, Gov. Ralph Northam said Tuesday.
Curtis Brown, the state coordinator of emergency management, said he expects large clinic events will be held at 13 locations within the next three months, determined by need and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Brown said more details will be coming and that people must preregister with the state’s vaccination website and get an appointment for the clinic. Northam urged Virginians to answer their phones when they get a call, even if it’s from an unknown number, because it could be the health department calling to set up a vaccine appointment.
