BATTLE CREEK, MI (WTVB) – The Battle Creek VA Medical Center has announced that starting this Saturday, they will provide COVID-19 vaccinations to anyone who served in the military as well as their caregivers and spouses, and some other beneficiaries under the authority granted by the SAVE LIVES Act that was recently signed by President Biden.
The expanded authority depends on readily available COVID-19 vaccine supply and requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to continue to prioritize Veterans enrolled in VA care.
“The Battle Creek VA Medical Center has been focused on vaccinating as many Veterans as possible, and we are excited to multiply our efforts to thanks to the SAVE LIVES Act,” said Michelle Martin, director of the Battle Creek VA Medical Center. “We will be doing a variety of walk-in and mobile clinics to make the vaccine easily accessible to those who qualify.”
Those eligible under the SAVES LIVES Act to receive a vaccine can go to www.va.gov/covid-19-vaccine to register.
There are mass vaccination events planned to start these vaccinations at the Battle Creek VAMC on April 10, 2021 and at the Wyoming VA Outpatient Clinic on April 17, 2021.
There are a variety of mobile clinics planned throughout the 22 counties of West and Southwest Michigan as well in the coming weeks. For a complete list, see the Battle Creek VAMC vaccine information page.
