The VA is currently prioritizing vaccine doses for veterans living in long-term care facilities and for its health-care workers.
Dr. Richard Stone, executive in charge of the Veterans Health Administration, says the VA has opened its doors to civilians since the start of the pandemic.

Ex-VA doctor who misdiagnosed patient sentenced to prison January 25, 2021 at 9:17 am
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) A former pathologist at an Arkansas veterans hospital has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter in the death of a patient he misdiagnosed.
Robert Morris Levy, 54, of Fayetteville was sentenced Friday in federal court.
Prosecutors said Levy diagnosed a patient with lymphoma when the patient actually had a small-cell carcinoma. Levy falsified the patient’s medical record to state that a second pathologist agreed with his diagnosis, according to the plea agreement. The patient later died.
In a statement to the court, Levy apologized for his actions.

“I’m angry with myself, and it just penetrates the surface of how I became this man. My plan going forward is to continue in the alcohol rehabilitation community to get the best long-term therapeutic strategy,” the statement said.
