listen live watch live COVID-19 vaccine eligibility has been expanded to all veterans enrolled in VA healthcare, regardless of age, on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 12-13 and Monday, Feb. 15. Generally, the COVID-19 vaccine has thus far been prioritized to veterans 65 or older, or 75 or older, depending on the location, number of veterans residing in that location and vaccine supply, he said. Veterans must be enrolled in VA healthcare to receive the vaccine through the VA and the shots are available by appointment only, Tweten said. The vaccine supply received can be unpredictable, he said, but recently, the facility received what it considers to be a large shipment.
