Can anything be done to enable veterans who are not VA Medical Patients to get the covid shots?

Baltimore VA turned away anyone not qualifying based on income.

Sir,

My understanding is that COVID shots are supposed to be no-cost. So you should be able to get them through your regular doctor, whoever that is, when they reach you in the priority list.

Aside from that, VA care is still VA care, and their services will continue to follow standards of qualifying for care, even with COVID.

Then there's a problem to shoot up the chain. 1. COVID shots are free. VA is doing based on what group you are in . Go on line to the VA Health care and look up Covid, it gives the breakdown.
