More than 17,700 veterans under the Fayetteville Veterans Affairs Coastal Healthcare system have received the coronavirus vaccine, officials said.
But with more than 73,000 veterans in the system, which spans 19 southeastern counties in North Carolina, providers want to ensure all who are eligible for the vaccine receive it.

Eligible veterans who are already in the VA healthcare system must call in advance to schedule their appointment through their provider at 910-475-6622. To help ensure physical distancing is maintained, no walk-ins will be accepted, Ricks said.

That is just one of the glaring flaws that COVID-19 has revealed about the U.S. health care system: It does not share health information well. Coordination between public health agencies and medical providers is lacking. Technical and regulatory restrictions impede use of digital technologies. To put it bluntly, our health care delivery system is failing patients. Prolonged disputes about the Affordable Care Act and rising health care costs have done little to help; the problems go beyond insurance and access.
