The Saves Lives Act would greenlight the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to vaccinate all veterans, veteran spouses, caregivers, and Civilian Health and Medical Program recipients. Right now, the VA is administering vaccines only to employees and its 9 million patients. This bill would open up who could receive the vaccine, regardless of a veteran's eligibility to receive VA care.

This is simply something the Senate has done to make themselves look good to Vets but the reality is, until there is enough vaccine available, this is a waste. My 76yo Vietnam Vet Father still cannot get it and places like FL opening it to all 50 and above is Bull shit!
