Military Veterans In Hawaii Will Have To Wait For A Coronavirus Vaccine…The VA Pacific Islands Healthcare System will not receive the Pfizer vaccine, but may get the Moderna vaccine if the FDA approves it.
The Department of Veterans Affairs began administering its first doses of the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine on the mainland this week. But veterans in Hawaii will have to wait a bit longer.
The VA recently announced its initial 37 vaccination sites that will be receiving the Pfizer vaccine, the first to be approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The sites include several regional systems on the mainland as well as the Caribbean VA Healthcare System in Puerto Rico.
