The Iron Mountain VA Medical Center has roughly 18,000 veterans enrolled in VA Healthcare in its service area which covers the Upper Peninsula the parts of northern Wisconsin.
Of those a little under half have gotten their COVID-19 vaccine through the VA.
“We are generally scheduling appointments every day for veterans to get the vaccine, so although it has slowed, it hasn’t stopped,” said Public Affairs Officer John Jamison.
The center is encouraging all veterans to get the COVID-19 vaccine. And now, it’s able to help get more veterans and the people close to them vaccinated.
President Joe Biden recently signed the SAVES LIVES Act. It gives the VA the ability to vaccinate not only enrolled veterans, but their spouses, widows, caregivers, and other veterans.
This past year, countless voices were silenced, but their iconic music lives on.
This Friday, Daryl Davis salutes those musicians that we’ve lost with his sixth annual tribute concert “Thanks for the Memories” at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia.
“I just keep a running tally until Dec. 31, then we scramble in January to write out the charts and put together the set,” Davis told WTOP. “It covers every genre and everybody, so there’s something there for everybody: young people, older people, generations, music you grew up with, current music, anybody who passed away.”
How exactly does he structure the set list?
Dairy was a tight market to begin with, Martin said. Having to turn around and make everything for the consumer side was difficult. We ve never seen such rapid and devastating change as at the beginning of COVID, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture spokesperson Shannon Powers said.
Powers added that the industry is witnessing several farmers added in-demand products such as yogurt. The ability to pivot and change directions has been vital for survival. When the pandemic hit, it was a bombshell, Luke Brubaker of Brubaker Farms in Mount Joy said. Schools were a big thing. It took heart out of the industry.”
