Henrico officials to state: ‘Give us the shots – period’
Henrico officials are frustrated that state health leaders apparently are prioritizing COVID-19 vaccine doses for four new, strategically located state-run mass-vaccination sites ahead of the one the county has been operating itself for months at Richmond Raceway.
They’re also upset that localities that already have entered Phase 1C of the vaccination process are receiving more doses proportionate to their populations than Henrico is receiving in relation to its – even as Henrico continues to lead the state’s 10 largest localities in vaccine doses administered (more than 25,000 per every 100,000 citizens).
At rally, officials and Asian organizations urge a stop to hate
Representatives from the Asian American Society of Central Virginia, Virginia Asian Chamber of Commerce, Organization of Chinese Americans – Central Virginia Chapter and Korean-American Society of Greater Richmond joined county, state and federal officials in addressing a crowd at the “Stop the Hate Rally” March 23 at Short Pump Park.
