The VA in White River Junction is hosting a clinicfor veterans over the age of 65 on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Manchester VA is hosting a similar clinic on Sunday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Both VAs are offering the Moderna vaccine.

These vaccines are being offered on a first come, first serve basis for people enrolled in the VA system.

If a veteran is enrolled at a different VA facility, they can register with that facility in advance or bring their DD-214 with them. Clinics will close early if all doses are administered.

Second doses will be administered at the same location exactly four weeks later.
