Virginia Tech researchers are looking into the ways some parts of Roanoke are disproportionately affected by higher temperatures.

ROANOKE, Va. – The next step of vaccine distribution in the Roanoke Valley was announced Wednesday. Carilion and the Virginia Department of Health announced mass clinics for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. After lots of confusion and frustration over a slow COVID vaccine rollout, hope is on the horizon for thousands. Carilion and VDH are teaming up to vaccinate 4,000 adults 65 and older in the Roanoke Valley this weekend. Leaders from the health department and Carilion ensure their partnership will get shots in arms as efficiently and effectively as possible but it’s all dependent on supply.
