evidence: The VA-enrolled CURRENT eligible population is about 9.5 million. To-date, VA has vaccinated not quite 1.6 million. The new law expands the population eligible to 33m; almost 3.5x times the number that they are at 17% on…..at 200k per week of first-shot allotment. That 200k number comes from this para in the release:"VA currently receives approximately 200,000 first, or single doses, of COVID-19 vaccine each week. VA estimates that it will need a minimum of 300,000 first or single doses of COVID-19 vaccine weekly to offer COVID-19 vaccination to an additional three million Veterans who are enrolled but not currently using VA health care. VA estimates that it will need approximately 600,000 first, or single doses, of COVID-19 vaccine each week to further expand vaccination to all individuals outlined in HR1276. First or single dose supply is the best indicator of VA’s capacity to offer expanded COVID-19 vaccination."
