MANCHESTER — The VA Manchester Healthcare System is providing the COVID-19 vaccine to enrolled veterans who are 75 years old or older and/or are experiencing homelessness, are hemodialysis, solid organ transplant or chemotherapy patients.

“Initial efforts were to administer vaccine to health-care staff and residents of our community living center,” said Mary-Jean Kellermann, chief of the Manchester VA Medical Center pharmacy services. “Our staff have been really incredible; we are moving forward to the next phase which includes our most vulnerable high-risk patients now and on-target to roll out vaccine within seven days of receipt.”
