Drive-Thru Flu Clinics are just around the corner. Getting a flu shot this fall is more important than ever.
Beginning Saturday, October 2, Veterans may participate in the drive-thru only Saturday clinics.
Flu shots are available free of charge to all enrolled Veterans. Getting a flu shot is quick and easy. No appointment necessary.
Veterans are reminded to bring their valid VA ID card, wear a loose-fitting short sleeve shirt, and face masks - even in your vehicle while receiving vaccine.
If you are a Veteran who has never enrolled in VA health care, please bring your DD-214 discharge papers to see if you are eligible for flu vaccine.
*Please note: Tricare for Life patients are not eligible.
