CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A 76-year-old man who was vaccinated has died as a result of COVID-19 complications.
That is according to information released Wednesday from the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department.
According to Dr. Sherri Young, the man did have an underlying medical condition and passed away while at a medical facility.
Dr. Young says this should not discourage people from getting the vaccination, but just proves there is still COVID-19 in our communities and we need to protect those with underlying conditions and protect the elderly.
KCHD on Wednesday reported 34 new cases of COVID-19.
To date, there have been 327 deaths related to COVID in Kanawha County.
There are currently 110 active cases reported in the county.
