Enrolled Veterans should schedule their COVID-19 vaccination appointments by calling 612-467-1301, weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Because of high demand, our phone wait times may be long. We appreciate your patience.

Text messages from VA

Over the next several weeks, we will be text messaging enrolled Veterans with cell phones on record to schedule their vaccine appointments. If you receive a text message from the phone number 53079, it is the VA. Scheduling via text message will assist in managing high call volumes and reduce phone call wait times. If you receive this text message and choose to schedule by text you will receive a confirmation text message when your appointment is scheduled. Please do not also call the COVID Vaccine Call Center if you have scheduled your appointment via text message. If you would like to opt in to receiving text messages from us, please text START to 53079.
