The VA has apparently been sitting on a surplus of vaccine for some time. My wife is a remote, non-patient facing contractor on a VA project and she is eligible to get a dose because the VA has extra. They have been giving it out to a wide variety of people in their ecosystem.

It's about time they prioritized it to actual veterans. I can understand giving itto care providers first, but just having any random employee/contractor/administrator/family member (?) is wrong.
