Our plan is to continue to vaccinate folks. We are still sticking with 1a and 1b but as the state opens up we are happy to participate in mass vaccination, said Stevens.

She says this clinic wouldnt have been possible without the partnerships of Calvary Revival church leaders and the Norfolk health department.
