Here's how veterans can get COVID-19 vaccines from the VA
As vaccinations for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continue, we here at Task & Purpose have received questions from veterans and readers, and have seen a number of comments online, asking for details on where and how to get vaccinated through the Department of Veterans Affairs. So we decided to gather the relevant information in one spot, to make things a little easier for veterans to find out when, where, and how they can get vaccinated through the VA.
The department has “administered at least one dose of either the Pfizer BioNtech or Moderna vaccine to more than 464,000 veterans,” as of Jan. 27, agency spokesman Randal Noller told Task & Purpose.
The VA is focusing on “local flexibility” to ensure that “no vaccine is wasted as we work to vaccinate all our veterans and employees who want to be vaccinated as quickly as possible,” Noller said. “Veterans who are enrolled and receiving care in VA will be contacted by their care team when they are eligible for vaccination. Veterans should wait to hear from their care team before scheduling an appointment, and stay tuned to their local website for announcement of mass vaccination events in their area.”
