VA hospital offering vaccinations to veterans

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal The Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center began calling military veterans on Friday with a recorded message that the facility is now taking appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations. The announcement of the opportunity for veterans with health problems capped a week in which nearly 54,000 doses of the vaccine had been administered in New Mexico. But not everyone who expected to get a vaccination ended up doing so, and several hundred who could have been vaccinated at the University of New Mexico Pit arena skipped their appointments, the state Department of Health said. State health officials reiterated on Friday the eight categories of groups currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine after school officials in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque learned their scheduled vaccination events for this weekend had been canceled.
