Walk-In COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic at Baltimore VA Medical Center

The VA Maryland Health Care System, in collaboration with the Maryland National Guard, is holding a Walk-in COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic on Saturday, February 6 and Sunday, February 7, 2021, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Baltimore VA Medical Center for Veterans 65 years of age and older who are enrolled with the VA Maryland Health Care System.

As a walk-in clinic, Veterans will be served on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last. Once the walk-in clinic reaches capacity, enrolled Veterans who did not receive the vaccine will be provided information on how to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment.

What Veterans Need to Know About the Walk-In COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic:

1. Veterans must be 65 year of age and older and enrolled with the VA Maryland Health Care System to be eligible to receive the vaccine.
2. Veterans must present their VA Health Information ID to park in the garage at the Baltimore VA Medical Center and to check-in to receive the vaccine.
3. Veterans will be served on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.
4. The Baltimore VA Medical Center is located at 10 N. Greene St., Baltimore, MD 21201. The entrance to the medical center’s parking garage is located off of W. Fayette Street.
5. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine requires two doses, so Veterans will be scheduled for a second dose 21 days after their first dose.
6. Masking and social distancing are required when visiting any VA facility.
7. Veterans cannot be accompanied by a friend or family member unless they require caregiver assistance due to COVID-19.

FREE FLU SHOTS FOR VETERANS

With the coronavirus still spreading, getting a flu shot this year is more important than ever to help prevent being infected by both viruses.

For Veterans who still need to get a flu shot, we recommend visiting a community pharmacy that is a part of the VA network. This includes the following: CVS, Costco, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart and Wegmans. (Walgreens is NOT participating this year.)

To be eligible for this benefit, you must have received care from the VA in the past 24 months. No appointments or referrals are required to get a free flu shot at a community pharmacy that is part of the VA network, but please call the pharmacy before visiting to ensure they are participating. Please inform the pharmacy that you are a Veteran and show them your VA Veterans Health Identification Card. You can also share with the pharmacy the appropriate flu shot billing information available on the page linked below. 

Veterans can also get free flu shots at other in-network community pharmacies and urgent care providers, at most scheduled VA clinic appointments, or at one of our drive-thru flu shot clinics. For more details, click the link below.
