LYNCHBURG, Va. – Not every health district in Virginia is moving on to the next COVID-19 vaccination phase.
Both the Central Virginia and Southside districts are among the 23 health districts across Virginia that remain in Phase 1a, only vaccinating health care personnel and those living in long-term care facilities.

A Virginia Department of Health spokesperson told 10 News that Lynchburg and its surrounding counties are still in the first phase because the supply, demand and resources to vaccinate varies across the state.
Other health districts may have already offered the majority of the first group the vaccines.
