(Tribune News Service) When staff from the Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System weighed how best to deliver the Covid-19 vaccine to eligible veterans, they worried bringing them into the Buffalo VA Medical Center for appointments presented a potential safety risk. So officials got creative, setting up a dedicated vaccination clinic in a large, climate-controlled tent in the parking lot outside the main hospital. Local VA leaders say it s the first clinic of its kind within the national VA health system and it s the reason the local VA health network has provided initial vaccine doses to more than 14,000 veterans, most over the last six weeks.
