I am a snow bird Veteran from Wyoming and am also wondering about getting the covid vaccine here in Tucson.

Did you ask the VA? I think right now the vaccine is going to healthcare workers right now. But you should probably talk to the VA on how they're administering the vaccine and when.

SGT Joseph Malberg: My husband uses the Tucson VA and is waiting to hear from his primary health care physician when he will be told to come in for the vaccine. Right now the Tucson VA will prioritize their health care workers and those in the AZ Veteran's Home. As more vaccine becomes available, it will then go to those who are over 65 and have comorbidities. My husband will be on that list since he has non-melanoma aggressive squamous cancer and has not been able to go into derm to get it cut out.
You need to contact the Tucson VA to find out whether or not you are on their list of active patients. If you were seen at the facility within the last year, you will probably be on their list. They can give you more information regarding where and when you will be able to obtain the vaccine from them.
