  2. The Military Circle Mall vaccination site has been busy with those looking to get booster. The COVID-19 booster shot is an extra layer of protection before the holidays after many of us didn't get to travel or spend time with family for Thanksgiving or Christmas last year due to the pandemic. The Virginia Department of Health says they have already administered more than 13 million third doses or boosters in the Commonwealth this year. (wtkr.com)
