Gov. Northam to hold briefing Wednesday with update on Virginias COVID-19 vaccine rollout – WAVY.com

RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) 10 On Your Side has confirmed Gov. Ralph Northam will hold a news conference Wednesday with an update on Virginias COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

The briefing is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be available to view on WAVY TV 10, WAVY.com and on Facebook.

The governors administration has faced heavy criticism for the sluggish rollout of the vaccine. Press secretary Alena Yarmosky told 10 On Your Side Tuesday they point to three factors for the difficulties.

Yarmosky said Virginia is close to meeting the governors goal of 25,000 shots per day, which is more than twice as many as were being distributed two weeks ago.

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) COVID-19 vaccine dashboard shows, as of Jan. 26, an average of 24,790 doses a day.

During Wednesdays briefing, the governor is expected to outline steps his administration is taking to improve the vaccine distribution efforts.
