Dr. Parham Jaberi, the Virginia Department of Health's chief deputy commissioner, recommends all eligible Virginians get their vaccine and booster shot before visiting loved ones this holiday season. "The more vaccinations you have onboard and the longer they're on with you, at least two weeks, the better you are," Dr. Jaberi said. (13newsnow.com WVEC)
