Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6747 King City, California

Please Share with the Monterey County Veterans in Your Life: Within Monterey County, VA is prioritizing elderly (75+ y/o) and medically Veterans, patients on di...alysis, as well as those who are currently getting chemotherapy or radiation for cancer, as well as homeless veterans. VA PAHCS is a Pfizer vaccine provider, and due to the nature of the vaccine storage (deep freezers), Veterans will need to go to either Palo Alto, Livermore, or Menlo Park facilities for their vaccine as of now. This may change as VA PAHCS gets new vaccines available. VA recommendation to the general Veteran population includes the following two things: 1. Have the Veteran let their primary care provider know that they are interested in the vaccine. Their provider can then put a note into their chart to signal the vaccination coordination team that the Veteran wants to get the vaccine. When it is their turn, the coordination team can then access the veterans name easily. 2. Veterans can also fill out an online form https://www.va.gov/heal/covid-19-vaccine/stay-informed/form to get updates and information to ensure they have been entered into the database as someone interested in the vaccine.
