The Department of Veterans Affairs administers COVID-19 vaccines in a repurposed dining area at the Durham, North Carolina VA medical center.
Congress has told the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer COVID-19 vaccines to some 24 million people who don t usually get their health care through the VA.
