At a briefing on January 22, 2021, the executive director of the Blue Ridge Health District had a clear message for people in the greater Charlottesville area. “There is a vaccination shortage and I just need everyone to understand that,” said Dr. Denise Bonds. Bonds is one of several people featured in this January 24, 2021 edition of the Charlottesville Community Engagement newsletter and newscast which doubles as an episode of the Charlottesville Quarantine Report. We’ll also hear from Dr. Costi Sifri from the University of Virginia and Dr. Danny Avula, Richmond’s health director who is also serving as the state’s vaccine coordinator. “Right now in Virginia we’re getting about 105,000 new doses per week and clearly there is much more demand than that,” Avula said. “Why is that and how do we address it?”
