Health Wagon plans more vaccinations

The Health Wagon continues to offer COVID-19 vaccinations and is planning weekly vaccination clinics.

In a Thursday press release, the nonprofit medical clinic announced that in the previous two weeks, staff had vaccinated 325 people at its Wise and Clintwood locations.

The Health Wagon has established a vaccine waiting list and is vaccinating persons ages 18-64 with comorbidities or preexisting health conditions or anyone above the age of 65.

Vaccines are first come, first serve.

Vaccines are distributed to the Health Wagon by the Virginia Department of Health and vaccine supply is still very limited. Call 276/328-8850 to be placed on the waiting list and you will be called for a drive-through appointment as the vaccine becomes available.

Drive-through patients receive the vaccine and wait 15 minutes before discharge to monitor any potential adverse reactions, according to Health Wagon chief Teresa Tyson.
