PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- With the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, President Joe Biden wants to administer 100 million shots in his first 100 days.
On Saturday, across the Delaware Valley, there was a push to get those who need it most, starting with veterans.
At the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, veterans 75-years-old and older and those with chronic health conditions rolled up their sleeves to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Marine Corps veteran Ed Murray says he was initially apprehensive about the shot, but realized the benefits far outweighed the risks.
"I think it's extremely important if you want to keep yourself safe, keep your community safe, keep your family safe," Murray said.
