DHS Announces Ten-Fold Increase in Vaccinated Workers Through Operation VOW
DHS Announces Ten-Fold Increase in Vaccinated Workers Through Operation VOW
04-05-2021 06:49 AM Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that DHS’s Operation Vaccinate Our Workforce (Operation VOW) has vaccinated more than 58,000 DHS mission-critical 1A and 1B employees—up from 5,074 employees at the beginning of February. On January 6, there were a total of 8 Veterans Administration Medical Centers providing vaccines to DHS employees. As of April 5, that number has increased significantly to 163 participating centers. DHS and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) continue to closely coordinate multiple vaccination events across the country for frontline and public-facing DHS employees. “There is no higher priority than the health and safety of our workforce,” said Secretary Mayorkas. “I am proud of the incredible progress that Operation VOW has made in just two months, thanks to the dedication of the DHS and VHA personnel leading this effort. DHS is committed to protecting our employees by ensuring they have access to the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines.” Recently, Operation VOW and VHA facilitated several events along the southwest border to vaccinate frontline and public-facing employees.
