The Department of Veterans Affairs has mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for its front-line health care workers, making it the first federal agency to do so amid a spike in coronavirus cases nationwide.
The agency gave employees two months to comply, saying those affected include physicians, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, registered nurses, physician assistants, expanded-function dental auxiliaries and chiropractors.
“Whenever a Veteran or VA employee sets foot in a VA facility, they deserve to know that we have done everything in our power to protect them from COVID-19,” Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough said in a statement.
