NF/SGVHS COVID-19 Operations - March 26, 2021
Veterans Health Administration sent this bulletin at 03/26/2021 04:49 PM EDT
The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System (NF/SGVHS) is offering the COVID-19 vaccine to all Veterans currently receiving care at any NF/SGVHS site of care.
President Joe Biden signed the SAVE LIVES Act into law on March 24, 2021 which expands VA’s legal authority to provide COVID-19 vaccines to All Veterans and Spouses/Caregivers. VA still has a limited supply of vaccine and we are working to determine how quickly we can begin offering to additional groups identified in the SAVE LIVES Act. Veterans can sign up with the “Keep Me Informed” tool to get updates here: COVID-19 vaccines: Stay informed and help us prepare | Veterans Affairs
Veterans who are not currently receiving care at VA and their spouses/caregivers are encouraged to take the first opportunity they have to get a vaccine at the most convenient location whether from their employer, pharmacy, or local public health officials.
Enrolled NF/SGVHS Veterans can opt to receive the vaccine at one of our sites of care by scheduling an appointment by calling 352-548-6000 ext. 103755. Appointments at our community-based outpatient clinics are still limited. Veterans are encouraged to schedule an appointment in Gainesville, Lake City, The Villages, Jacksonville, the Sergeant Ernest I. “Boots” Thomas VA Clinic or by attending one of the health system’s no appointment needed vaccination events.
Each NF/SGVHS location has different operational plans in place. Current COVID-19 vaccine administration sites and their operational status are provided below.
