West Virginia has administered coronavirus vaccine in all its nursing homes

Wa Examiner: West Virginia has completed the first round of coronavirus vaccinations at all 214 long-term care facilities in the state.

“It’s been a tremendous effort, teamwork, setting up the infrastructure and the framework to be able to do this,” Krista Capehart, who helped coordinate the effort, told West Virginia MetroNews.

Capehart, the director of professional regulatory affairs for the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy, said the key was using the two weeks between the time the first vaccine was authorized by the Food and Drug Administration and when the first shots could be provided in West Virginia.

“We felt like we could use that time in a better manner if we used connections in the state and opened it up to all of our pharmacies,” Capehart said. more
