On March 24, 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law legislation that expanded the access of veterans and their families to the COVID-19 vaccine. Under the Strengthening and Amplifying Vaccination Efforts to Locally Immunize all Veterans and Every Spouse Act (SAVE LIVES Act), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is mandated to provide all veterans, their spouses, caregivers, and recipients of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) with vaccination services to the extent that vaccines are available. Furthermore, the SAVE LIVES Act also directs the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to allocate as many vaccine doses as the supply chain allows to the VA in order to accommodate the increase in the eligibility pool. The law also expands the option of the beneficiaries as to where they want to access the vaccines.
