Well this part of it was no surprise.
"VA said it expects it will eventually be able to provide a vaccine to any employee who wants one. It will not, however, require employees to receive an inoculation, though it plans to “encourage” its staff to do so to protect themselves and the veterans they serve. In its presentation on its vaccine plan, VA pointed to studies showing significant segments of the population that are not committed to getting vaccinated. It highlighted younger individuals, Black individuals, those with lower educational attainment and those living in rural areas as the most hesitant. "

This also puts a spike in the possible plan of mandating taking the vaccine.
“VA’s goal is to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to all employees and veterans who want it when supplies become available,” it said. “Eventually, we expect to receive enough supply to vaccinate all who choose to be vaccinated.”
