Acting Under Secretary Stone: Imperative we vaccinate as many people as possible as quickly as possible
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered every facet of our lives, and the arrival of the vaccine this winter finally brought us closer to defeating it. This virus is deadly, and each of us has been affected differently. We lost family members, colleagues, battle buddies, and friends. It is imperative that we vaccinate as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
At VA alone, we’ve treated thousands of cases, many of them requiring extended in-patient care. While we are seeing more hope than ever for a return to normal activities, make no mistake the end of this pandemic is not guaranteed without each of us continuing to take action. We haven’t crossed the finish line yet and we must not get complacent.
