Four Easy Ways to get the vaccine:

1. Just walk into a VA Medical Facility. Even if you are not a VA customer. No appointment needed. Find one near you here: https://rly.pt/FindLocations
2. Sign up to have your local VA contact you or send your care team a secure message on MyHealtheVet here: rly.pt/MyHealtheVet
3. Call 1-800-MyVA41 [login to see] ) and press 8 for more information, or press 0 to speak to an agent.
4. Search for other vaccine options at vaccines.gov, text your zip code to 438829, or call [login to see]

Please join us in the mission of getting fully vaccinated. The U.S. vaccination program is safe and has already saved tens of thousands of lives. Over 300-million doses have been given out and that number continues to grow each day, allowing Americans to get back to living their lives.

Today, with assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) we can help further this mission by providing vaccines to our members where they live live. VA has offered us access to their mobile vaccination clinics.

If however you have some pre-existing conditions with your lungs and breathing you should consider doing this and I would leave it up to you to decide?

As for me?

No siree I am doing just fine. I have had Covid 19 and it's been verified that I have had it twice by county and state officials.

The Red Cross says I have those little Anchovies (Antibodies) swimming around in my blood and I feel great.

I suspect this next batch of virus will be worse because "Fauchy" said it would and when you care enough to send the very best it's got to be well, deadlier, right?

Faucy knows it's coming! He knows its going to be more deadly. He knows its on it's way in Germany and now Great Britain. He probably has an antidote for this strain too the little virus maker. Hitler would be so proud of you Fauchy!

I survived the last batch and am stronger for it because they say I exhibit the herd immunity. The reason I know this is when a tractor comes by with a round bale of alfalfa on it I have this urge to run over to the fence. I also can't stand it when someone slaps the handle against the side of a plastic feed pail.

So I think I will be protected from the new strain as long as we don't quarantine, isolate ourselves, wear stupid masks and maintain 6ft of distance from each other.

In fact at my place of business social distancing and masks are both discouraged here. In fact if you come in wearing a mask at my business, you very likely will be shot because we frown on robberies.

Shaking Hands as a greeting, a salutation or the closing of a big deal are highly encouraged.

Also hugs, pats on the back for a job well done are welcome and encouraged.

P.S. Another note did you know that Fauchy adopted the 6 ft rule from the doctors who used it during the bubonic plague? They didn't know what they had either and it seemed like a great idea?

Getting it is easy, convincing people to get is is becoming the hard part.

That’s good information to know if you are thinking about getting the vaccine. Your spouse is also eligible to get the vaccine at the V.A.

I guess I'm supposed to be glad that the VA sees their mission as getting everyone fully vaccinated. Everyone, not just veterans. If over 300 million doses have been given out and over 33.5 Million people in this country have been listed as having had the virus, seems like we're at the vaunted "herd immunity" levels already.
Feel free to let this notice fade into oblivion, RP...

Hey, we don't need no stinkin' shots!

It's all a Democrat hoax, isn't it?

I go to the Leavenworth, KS VA. Their vaccination operations were impressive. They knew what they were doing.

And you too can be a guinea pig with an unapproved, untested vaccine
