This month on WJON s Voices for Veterans segment I was joined by Barry Venable, Public Affairs Officer from the St. Cloud V.A. and Josh Goudge, Veteran Services Supervisor from the St. Cloud V.A. Barry says 70% of veterans enrolled at the St. Cloud V.A. have been vaccinated for Covid-19 including more than 90% of those 85 years of age and older. He says he d like to see veterans 50 and younger get the vaccine in larger numbers than what they are currently seeing. Venable says if we re going to beat the pandemic we need everyone to join in, get vaccinated . He says if a person were to get a mild case of Covid-19 it is important to not pass it to others. Venable says the St. Cloud V.A. is still offering the vaccine for veterans. Call to make an appointment at 252-1670 extension 6339.

(KNSI) – Advocates in Central Minnesota are trying to get help to every eligible veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System in St. Cloud is holding a VA Eligibility Fair on May 19.
Veterans Services Supervisor at the St. Cloud VA Josh Goudge was a guest of KNSI’s Bob Hughes says they’re trying to reach vets who were told ‘no’ in the past.
“If you are a veteran, and you’ve previously applied for care, and at the time of your application, you were told that your gross household income was above the federally set income threshold and so you were not able to access VA care at that time. We certainly want to encourage you to call our enrollment office.”
