GILES COUNTY, Va. – On Friday, Giles County seniors like Diane Mullis lined up to get their coveted COVID-19 vaccine. “We are very grateful and very relieved,” said Mullis, a 77-year-old from Giles County. “Localities are going to have to step up and try to help I think through this process if we’re really going to get the vaccine out,” said Giles County Administrator Chris McKlarney. Don’t just show up at a vaccine clinic and don’t try to register if you’re 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.
