Birmingham VA expands vaccine program; more doses still key

 

More Birmingham veterans are being vaccinated for COVID-19 thanks to a partnership with the United Way of Central Alabama.

The Birmingham VA Health Care System is being provided with as many as 1,000 shots a day to veterans who are at least 65 years old. Before this week, only around 300 people were getting treated daily. 

The vaccine clinic is moving into a United Way in downtown Birmingham to accommodate for more appointments.
