(KNSI) – The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System in St. Cloud is making a significant change in how it manages its vaccine program.
For the last four months, the St. Cloud VA has operated a centralized vaccination clinic but Starting today (Monday, May 3rd), the VA has moved to an outpatient model.
VA Communication Officer Barry Venable explained to KNSI’s Bob Hughes what the change means.
“The centralized clinic will be greatly reduced. We do still have some second doses that we will be giving in the auditorium. But for the most part, veterans will now be getting their vaccines in conjunction with other appointments, and all they need to do to request the vaccine if they have an appointment scheduled and say hey, I want a COVID-19 vaccine.”

Veteran Larry Reese says, “Motion is lotion,” which is a saying he picked up in a pain management class at the James A. Haley, VA Medical Center in Tampa, Florida. “If you’re sitting still, you’re feeling the pain, but if you keep moving, it helps you to deal with it,” he says. “It also helps if you understand pain, then you can learn to deal with it.”
Reese has gained a better understanding of his pain and overall health through Whole Health services including the THRIVE Program, the Mind Body Medicine Skills Group, and services such as acupuncture and Whole Health Coaching.
