like many systems are doing the department of veterans affairs will now require covid-19 vaccines for doctors and nurses and other health care workers who provide medical care for our veterans. we must do everything possible to protect our veterans from getting covid when they come to get medical care they so richly earned serving their country. we owe them. next, since many vaccinations are required for active duty military today, i m asking the defense department to look into how and when they will add covid-19 to the list of vaccinations our armed forces must get. our men and women in uniform who protect this country from grave threats should be protected as much as possible from getting covid-19. i think this is particularly important because our troops serve in places throughout the world. vaccination rates are low and
