HELENA â The Montana VA Health Care System has begun COVID-19 vaccination clinics for veterans in the state. On Wednesday, MTVAHCS hosted its first vaccination clinics in Helena and Missoula for veterans over the age of 75, or veterans with a health condition that made them more susceptible to serious complications from COVID.
MT VA executive director Judy Hayman says this is a significant milestone in the efforts of ending the pandemic. âWeâre very excited and Iâd say the energy is even more exciting than when we vaccinated the staff,â said Hayman.âAll the veterans Iâve spoken to are thankful to be here and are supporting each other. One veteran me he didnât know if he needed the vaccine but he wanted to be sure he protected others.â
