The holidays bring many gifts to those all over the world and today Veterans at VA Loma Linda received a special life-saving gift. The first Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were administered to Veterans in the medical center’s Community Living Center (CLC).
Steven Welch was the first Veteran to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at VA Loma Linda. Welch served in the U.S. Air Force from 1979-1985, and he is a lifetime member of Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Chapter 92. “I still want to give back to America, and the VA,” said Welch. “The VA has done so much for me; I want to do whatever I can to show my appreciation of the healthcare workers and staff here at the VA.”
