SPOKANE, Wash. — Efforts are well underway to keep local heroes protected from COVID-19 at Spokane’s Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center.
The center began vaccinating veterans on Tuesday, saying it will prioritize who comes first by age and pre-existing health conditions.
Of the veterans who received their vaccine on Tuesday, one was 101-year-old retired physician Dexter Amend. Amend served in the Army and Navy, and his son, Harry Amend, is known in the community for his time serving as a teacher and local superintendent.
