SAN ANTONIO – The South Texas Veterans Health Care System administered Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to enrolled veterans at Texas A&M University-San Antonio on Saturday.
The South Texas VA said they aspired to vaccinate 500 veterans living on the South Side of San Antonio who have difficulties reaching other vaccination sites offered throughout the area.
“The plan is to see how well this one goes and then be (on a) consistent rotation until the VA reaches near 100% on vaccines,” said Richard Delgado Jr., U.S. Marine Corps veteran and executive director of Military Affairs at Texas A&M University-San Antonio.

University Health reached a milestone in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic by drawing up the 100,000th dose of the Pfizer vaccine and administered it to a person at their Wonderland Mall of the Americas vaccination site on Friday. The logistical operation of mass vaccine delivery began almost two months ago. The operation involved intense logistical challenges handling delicate vaccines at multiple sites, and to date University Health has not lost one single dose according to an official statement. When University Health started they were delivering about 1,500 dosages a day and now are around 3,500 dosages per day with some people already having received their second shots.Kin Man Hui, San Antonio Express-News / Staff photographerSho
