The West Palm Beach VA Medical Center began COVID-19 vaccination on Dec. 22 following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization.
“The West Palm Beach VA Medical Center is excited to offer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to health care personnel, community living center residents and other congregate living units at our facility,” said Cory Price, director of the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. “Receiving the vaccine at this time of the year offers us a renewed hope going into the new year. As vaccine supplies increase, our ultimate goal is to offer COVID-19 vaccination to all enrolled veterans and employees who want to be vaccinated.”
As vaccines become available for more groups of Veterans, VA care teams will reach out to eligible Veterans to schedule vaccinations. There is no need to preregister or come to a facility to sign up.
