No previously scheduled appointments will be canceled. Appointment availability is subject to the availability of vaccines.

Here is what you need to know before participating in the walk-in clinic.

  • Due to the high demand for the vaccine, you may experience long lines and prolonged wait times. We ask for your patience as we work to ensure that all of our enrolled Veterans are taken care of.
  • Proper masking over your nose and mouth is required and we ask that you practice social distancing.
  • The vaccine is administered in two doses for maximum effectiveness; you will receive a second appointment time before leaving the clinic. The second dose of the vaccine is approximately 28 days after the first dose at the same location.
  • Photo identification and/or VA identification are required at the time of check-in.

Veterans may still choose to schedule an appointment and previously scheduled appointments will not be canceled. If you are a frontline essential worker or are 55 years or older, please call CAVHCS at 866-601-1079 to schedule a vaccination.

You must be enrolled and eligible for VA Health Care to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. If you’re not currently receiving health care through VA, find out if you’re eligible and apply now at this link https://www.va.gov/health-care/how-to-apply/.
