Veterans-Affairs staff in Marina are working on plans to administer COVID-19 vaccines to Central Coast military veterans.
Veterans receiving care through the Outpatient Clinic in Marina can create an appointment through the Marina clinic but have to travel to Palo Alto, Menlo Park, or Livermore in order to actually receive the vaccine.
Navy officials said that at this time the Marina clinic is not able to store the vaccine. Nor does it have the ability to meet the requirements for safe transportation of the vaccine from the Bay Area to Marina.
Veterans not enrolled through the Marina clinic or who do not receive care from the VA can still contact the office by calling 831-647-7613 for information on how they can get help to be vaccinated.
