VA Long Beach Healthcare System will begin COVID-19 vaccination with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine starting December 22, following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization for this vaccine.
“VA Long Beach is eager to aggressively begin vaccinating our in-patient Veterans and staff using the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. With one of the largest Spinal Cord Injury Centers within the VA system, and over 60 bed Community Living Center, it is critical to begin as soon as possible,” said Richard Beam, Director of Public and Community Services. “Receiving the vaccine is like having hope delivered. As vaccine supplies increase, our ultimate goal is to offer COVID-19 vaccination to all veterans and employees who want to be vaccinated.”
