3) Access in the Community:
Ensure necessary billing information is printed out or available on a mobile device to ensure the non-VA flu shot provider has the information needed to submit the claim properly. RVAHCS sites are located in Regions 4 and 5: Optum and TriWest Billing Information (va.gov).
The updated COVID-19 bivalent boosters protect against both the original virus strain and the Omicron variant. An updated booster will protect you even more against COVID-19. More information about COVID-19 booster vaccines can be found here: COVID-19 Booster Shots | Veterans Affairs (va.gov).
