“Not aware of anything we’ve done to open it up just broadly to anybody that wants to come from another state to get a vaccine, but it is open to those who work in West Virginia who reside in other states,” Hoyer said. But James Hoyer, a retired major general leading the state’s coronavirus task force, said at a news conference he didn’t know that out-of-state residents were being allowed to get vaccines inside the state, other than people who already work in West Virginia. The National Guard is assisting with the clinic. “Our goal is just to get vaccines in arms. “I said ‘sir all I need is a photo ID so I know who I’m giving this to.’ And I honestly thought he was going to cry,” Gambino said. One Pennsylvania man pulled out an array of official papers to prove who he was, only to be stopped by Gambino. Gambino said a couple traveling back from vacation to Morristown, Tennessee, agreed to return in 28 days to get their second dose.
The clinic is administering the two-shot Pfizer vaccine.
