Veterans in the VA Health Care System
https://www.va.gov/health-care/covid-19-vaccine/#who-can-now-get-a-covid-19-vac
VA facilities will provide vaccines to Veterans receiving VA health care who are most at risk. The VA will determine when they can provide vaccines to Veterans in their system. If you’re not currently receiving health care through VA, you can apply now.
DOD
The Department of Defense (DoD), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, has launched a program to provide COVID-19 vaccines to service members, retirees, and their families. Under this program, the DoD will distribute the vaccines through a series of phases.
Macdill has vaccines but they are doing people who are going to deploy, active service members and dependents first, retirees later.
Who is getting the vaccine first?
The first supply of the vaccine is limited. The first vaccines will be given in phases. The first phases will be for:
- Individuals providing direct medical care
Individuals maintaining essential installation functions
Deploying forces
Individuals at the highest risk for developing severe illness from COVID-19
- Adults age 75 and older, then 65+
Vaccines will be offered to other TRICARE beneficiaries as more vaccines are available and after priority individuals have been vaccinated. Learn more about the first phases of DoD COVID-19 vaccine distribution. MacDill AFB, senior national staff and U.S. Special Operations Command personnel follow medical personnel and first-responders, according to the medical group’s Facebook post. Next will be personnel preparing to deploy outside the U.S., including authorized civilian and contract employees, as well as Department of Defense beneficiaries over 75, before moving on to other groups. Those with questions about vaccines can call 813-827-1918 or send an email to usaf.macdill.6-mdg.mbx.immunizations1@mail.mil.

How Long Until Health Care and 65+ Americans Are Vaccinated?
It took us about a month to get 7% of the US population inoculated with their first jab. The total USA population of Health Care Workers and 65+ people is about 27% of our total population so it follows that it will likely take another 3 months or so to get all of us vaccinated.
And of course much longer to protect the entire country and the world. Of course our vaccine production and administration will no doubt improve and become substantially faster over time.
We are all hoping that the virus does not mutate and become more deadly and/or resistant to the vaccine.
In the meantime keep doing what we did in 1918 and what we should be doing now.
Maintain social distance
Avoid Groups
Wear good Masks
Wash carefully
Keep your friends and social contacts
Exercise, eat healthy and avoid depression
Keep Sending Emails!
This Too Shall Pass
