The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the first COVID-19 vaccine. VA will have a limited amount of this vaccine to start. We’ve worked with the CDC and other federal partners


to develop a phased plan. Our goal is to do the most good for the most people during this time. Under this plan, we’ll first offer vaccines to these 2 groups: * Veterans living in our


long-term care facilities, and * VA health care personnel. Vaccinating our high-risk VA health care personnel helps us continue providing care for Veterans. We based this plan on these


criteria from CDC guidelines: * Risk of becoming infected with the virus * Risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 * Risk of spreading the virus to others * Risk of harm to society if


essential workers, including health care personnel, are unable to work After the first 2 groups, we’ll begin to offer vaccines to more Veterans who are at high risk of severe illness from


COVID-19. Your VA health care team will contact you if you’re eligible to get a vaccine during this time. To get the latest updates and sign up to stay informed about COVID-19 vaccines,
