South Texas VA implements SAVE LIVES Act
The stories that go with the shots
Where a returns counter once stood is now occupied by South Texas VA staff checking enrollment paperwork. Where hat and umbrella displays stood for sale, protecting San Antonians from an unforgiving sun, are now rows of nurses ready to vaccinate Veterans, their spouses, previously ineligible Veterans and other groups against an equally unforgiving virus.
The South Texas Veterans Health Care System acquired a lease in a vacant department store at a popular westside mall. Mid-April, it began using the extra space to accommodate the provisions of the SAVE LIVES Act.
