PORTSMOUTH, Va. The state of Virginia has been spending the last few months figuring out how to quickly distribute a coronavirus vaccine to millions of people. Dr. Norman Oliver, Virginias health commissioner, told the states Board of Health during its quarterly meeting that it will likely be late winter before a vaccine is ready. Hopefully we will get a vaccine that has gone through Phase 3 trials and has been shown to be safe and effective. An advisory work group is being assembled to ready the state to distribute the vaccine. The health department is asking for $10 million in CARES Act funding to purchase supplies and launch a communication campaign.
