Military veterans in Middle Tennessee who get their health care from the VA can now get a COVID vaccine, regardless of their age. Starting Friday, the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System is offering inoculations to everyone enrolled in their system.

The new parameters will apply to the walk-in vaccination clinics scheduled for Saturday at the VA hospitals in Nashville and Murfreesboro. TVHS had already lowered the age to 55.

TVHS has now administered roughly 27,000 doses.
