The VA is undertaking a plan to distribute vaccines to more than 418,000 employees and 10 million enrolled patients a task one VA official called a “Herculean effort.” The department received 73,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week and vaccinated its first patient Monday a 96-year-old World War II veteran living in the department’s long-term community living center in Massachusetts.
