Veterans’ COVID-19 Vaccination Questions
Veterans are currently inquiring about COVID-19 Vaccines at a very high rate. Availability of vaccine across the country and across VA continues to evolve. We are asking all staff to share the following information when Veterans call to inquire:
- The WNCHCS will begin distributing vaccines to Veterans on the week of January 10, 2021
- Veterans will be contacted directly, they do not need to call Primary Care, they will be called to schedule their vaccine.
- The current priority for scheduling is for Veterans 75 years and older.
