Use and Oversight of the Emergency Caches Were Limited during the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The OIG assessed how effectively VA managed its emergency caches during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.

Inconsistent Documentation and Management of COVID-19 Vaccinations for Community Living Center Residents
While reviewing the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) plans to document receipt and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, the VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) determined that VHA facilities did not consistently document the COVID-19 vaccination status of veterans living in VA’s Community Living Centers (CLCs).

Because CLC residents are in the highest COVID-19 vaccine priority group, they should be offered the vaccine, when possible...
