West Virginia Age Requirement Drops for the Vaccine

West Virginians who are at least 70 years old can now receive a coronavirus vaccine, and Gov. Jim Justice said the state will open vaccinations for everyone aged 65 and over once it receives more doses. The state exceeded 100,000 vaccine doses administered on Wednesday, leading the nation on number of shots given per 100,000 residents. Washington is urging states to immediately start vaccinating other groups lower down the priority scale, including people age 65 and older and younger people with certain health problems.
