4:25Now PlayingBNC’s DC Bureau Chief Del Walters speaks to Denis McDonough, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, about outreach to getting Black veterans vaccinated.
Veteran Affairs has been “overperforming” in getting Black veterans vaccinated, which is reportedly higher than the general population.
There has been a 20 percent increase in suicides among veterans during COVID-19, which McDonough calls “heartbreaking” and is working on getting them proper mental health services by working with local communities.
