LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Army veteran Daniel Hampton was vaccinated at the Shively Community Based Outpatient Clinic on Wednesday, marking a milestone of the 10,000th COVID-19 vaccine dose administered by the Robley Rex VA in Louisville.
The VA has been vaccinating veterans since early January, but started only administering shots to those with the highest risk. Early vaccinations were given by appointment only at drive-thru sites.
Now, Robley Rex is offering COVID-19 vaccines to any enrolled veteran aged 40 and older.
In a statement, the medical center said it continues outreach to enrolled Veterans by telephone, letters, VETex, and secure messaging through My HealtheVet. Veterans can also call the COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center at 502-287-4426 to request an appointment.
