Yes this ain't on topic but it's important enough to put on here anyway and take the wrath because of it.

 

I'm in Ohio but my guess and hope is you'll find it similar in the Western Pa area.

 

---------------------------------------

 

 Yesterday I got a robo call from the VA Cleveland and missed it.

When I followed up with it via the Akron VA clinic where my local VA clinic told me I would have to go to get it they forwarded me to VA main Stokes Center in Cleveland.

It nets out to they had most any time available to me to get it and I could have even driven to Cleveland to get it today.
They were scheduling in Akron most any day I wanted and was able to get an appointment time of my choosing next week.
They are scheduling in 15 minute intervals so you won't have to wait in a huge line.

Reason for this is if your VA and want the vaccine get active about getting it now because it's probably now available to you as it is to me.

The vaccine they have for me is the Phisher one which is what I wanted because researching it it has the least side effects though it is 95% effective compared to 98% effective for the Modera.

Sure am glad for the improvements made to my VA in recent years with my local center even getting an enlarged brand new building which I think opens this week.

This type of post is fine with me. And is far superior to what most of your posts are. 👀

If your a VA patient, generally I go just for physicals and routine shoots you should be on their list to be called to go get your shot.

I got my first last Tuesday.

 

If your a veteran and not signed up my advice is to get signed up.

 

My finally signing up around 65 or so saved my life by them showing me my psa score during a physical.

I was healthy never went to the doctor and would have been dead now if I would not have hooked up with the va.

 

Their only so called mandatory thing is you take an annual physical.
