Virginia unveils new funding and new details for COVID-19 vaccination plan

On Friday, Gov. Ralph Northam committed $22 million in federal CARES funding to support Virginia’s COVID-19 vaccination program. 

The funding is the first allocation in what’s expected to be a $120 million effort to prepare the state for mass distribution. A 60-page report submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention details the need for additional equipment, staff and communication strategies to make sure the program goes smoothly in Virginia.

“We look forward to the day that a safe vaccine for COVID-19 is available for public use, so that we can get closer to living normal lives,” Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement on Friday. “I encourage Virginians to get this vaccine when it is available — that is our best way to end this pandemic.”
