Pinging Military Vets about: SAVE LIVES Act allows VA to soon provide COVID-19 vaccinations to all Veterans, their spouses and caregivers

I’m a vet and I contacted the VA about a month ago to see what was up. The doctor seemed nonplussed about getting me the COVID treatment, but- did interview me in a teleconference, reinstituted my prescriptions, arranged for me to undergo an EKG, stress test, and an echocardiogram. Also, arranged for tetanus and flu shots, and a stool screening. Scheduled a second teleconference for Nov. 30th as well.
No COVID treatment though, so I went online last Sunday afternoon and found an opening for the next morning at a Fry’s grocery store. The exercise from start to finish was about 18 hours to completion. I was kind of bowled over by the simplicity.
The point to my post is to report that the VA has stepped up their game and is delivering better care than at any time previously in interacting with me.
FWIW- I’m in the metro Phoenix area.
No way I’ll take any of those currently available.
