    Northern Arizona VA Health Care SystemPrescott AZ (December 31, 2020) – Recently, the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System (NAVAHCS) began administering COVID-19 inoculations using the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. This follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization for this vaccine.

    “The Northern Arizona VA is eager to offer the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to our health care personnel and Veterans in our Community Living Center,” said Jean Gurga, medical center director. “Receiving the vaccine is like having hope delivered. As vaccine supplies increase, our ultimate goal is to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to all Veterans and employees who wish to be vaccinated.”

    NAVAHCS is one of 113 VA medical centers across the country to receive the first limited supply of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Sites were identified based on need for the vaccine according to CDC’s 1A prioritization and capacity to store the vaccine at -20◦C.

    The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was 94 percent effective in clinical trials in preventing COVID-19 disease. It is administered in two doses, 28 days apart. The side effects appear similar to those of other vaccines and are short-lived.

    Even after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination, employees and Veterans are advised to continue wearing face coverings, practicing physical distancing, and washing their hands often. As vaccines become more widely available, VA health care teams will reach out to eligible Veterans to schedule vaccinations. There is no need to preregister or visit a VA facility to sign-up.

    Veterans may receive up-to-date information on VA’s COVID-19 vaccine webpage and sign-up to receive regular updates on the VA’s Stay Informed page.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
