We now provide the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible Veterans of any age.

Eligible Veterans:

  • Are any age, AND
  • Are eligible and registered for VHA care, AND
  • Receive their VHA care at VAPHS (to include VAPHS outpatient clinics in Belmont County, Ohio, and Beaver, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties in Pennsylvania), AND
  • Have NOT had any vaccinations in the past 14 days.
     

We provide the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at most appointments and our walk-in clinic at University Drive. This is a two-dose vaccination. We will schedule you to return to the same location that you receive your first shot for your second shot in approximately 21 days. For example, if you receive your first shot at University Drive, you must return to University Drive for your second shot. If you receive your first shot at an outpatient clinic, you must return to that clinic for your second dose.

To schedule an appointment at the medical campus or outpatient clinic of your choice, please send a secure message via My HealtheVet to your clinic provider.
