GILES COUNTY, Va. โ On Friday, Giles County seniors like Diane Mullis lined up to get their coveted COVID-19 vaccine. โWe are very grateful and very relieved,โ said Mullis, a 77-year-old from Giles County. โLocalities are going to have to step up and try to help I think through this process if weโre really going to get the vaccine out,โ said Giles County Administrator Chris McKlarney. Donโt just show up at a vaccine clinic and donโt try to register if youโre not in Phase 1-a or Phase 1-b. That way, they can get the vaccine in as many arms as possible for those who need it most.
