Lee Jones waits seated in the COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic observation area of the Central Virginia VA Health Care System’s (CVHCS) Richmond campus, February 23, 2021. Jones, a U.S. Air Force and Vietnam War Veteran, served from 1957 through 1968. Veterans receiving both doses of the vaccine must wait at least 15-minutes before departing the clinic to ensure they have no adverse reactions to the vaccine. CVHCS has been vaccinating Veterans since initiating the COVID-19 vaccine clinic in December last year. To this point, nurses in the vaccine clinic have provided more than 16,000 doses of the lifesaving vaccine for Veterans, employees, volunteers and caregivers. CVHCS began its response to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. (CVHCS Photo by Megan Kon/Released)
