MILWAUKEE (WDJT) Wisconsin veterans are getting the chance to walk in and get a COVID-19 vaccine this weekend at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center.
There was so much interest on Saturday, Jan. 16, that a spokesperson for the VA told CBS 58 that staff had to cut off the line early in the morning. The VA is able to administer vaccines to 500 veterans each day from Jan. 16 to 18.
To qualify, the veterans must be 65 or older. They also have to be enrolled with the Milwaukee VA or its community clinics in Green Bay, Appleton, Cleveland or Union Grove, according to a news release.
