Beginning this week, veterans of all ages â those enrolled in the VA medical system â can get vaccinated against the coronavirus at clinics and hospitals in the Tampa VA health care system, according to spokespeople.
In the Bay Pines VA health care system, the C.W. Bill Young Medical Center in Pinellas County also is vaccinating enrolled veterans of all ages.
For veterans seeking vaccines at outpatient clinics and other medical centers within the Bay Pines system, vaccinations are limited to only those over 65, under 65 with high risk health conditions, and essential frontline workers of all ages, said Anna Hancock, spokeswoman for the system. High risk health conditions include cancer, chronic kidney disease, heart failure and more.
