But West Virginia has stood out for its success in getting people vaccinated. “West Virginia is about at the top of the charts,” said Dr Mark McClellan, a former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration. He estimated that West Virginia has the capacity to handle 125,000 doses a week, but is getting just 23,600. The stakes are particularly high in West Virginia, where residents are among the oldest and least healthy in the nation. Statewide, West Virginia has given shots to around 70,000 of its senior citizens, with more than 250,000 left to go.
