Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) at Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs (VACT) began offering the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible veterans in February 2021. From February 10 to March 17, 2021 there were 110 encounters where a veteran was offered the vaccine (96 unique veterans). Of those 96 veterans, 39 (40.6%) were interested in receiving the vaccine. Of those, 23 (60.0%) veterans received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and among those, 21 (91.3%) eventually received the second dose. Sixteen veterans were interested but unable to receive the vaccine due to PES-related obstacles. Common themes regarding vaccine hesitancy among this population include vaccine mistrust and concerns about side effects. Offering the vaccine to PES patients allowed VACT to reach a vulnerable subset of veterans who may be at higher risk of contracting the virus and experience worse disease outcomes.
康涅狄格州退伍军人事务部（VACT）的精神科急诊服务（PES）于 2021 年 2 月开始向符合条件的退伍军人提供 COVID-19 疫苗。从 2021 年 2 月 10 日至 3 月 17 日，共有 110 次为退伍军人提供疫苗接种的情况（96 位不同的退伍军人）。在这 96 名退伍军人中，有 39 人（40.6%）对接种疫苗感兴趣。其中，23 人（60.0%）接受了辉瑞-生物技术公司疫苗的第一剂，其中 21 人（91.3%）最终接种了第二剂。有 16 名退伍军人表示有兴趣接种疫苗，但由于 PES 相关障碍而无法接种。该人群中疫苗犹豫的常见主题包括对疫苗的不信任和对副作用的担忧。为 PES 患者提供疫苗接种服务使 VACT 能够接触到一个脆弱的退伍军人群体，他们可能面临更高的感染病毒风险，并出现更严重的疾病后果。
