Flu and COVID Vaccine Drives This Saturday!

Veterans,

Protect your right to be as healthy as possible. Veterans across the Durham VA health Care System, including in Raleigh, Greenville, and Morehead City have high rates of COVID and flu vaccinations. Take steps to protect yourself from the flu and COVID.

Join us this Saturday, October 21, in Raleigh or Greenville from 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. to get your updated 2023-2024 flu and COVID vaccines!

Flu and COVID vaccines are also available Monday through Friday in Primary Care clinics or during any scheduled clinic appointment. Too far to travel? Get vaccinated at a local in-network pharmacy like CVS. Bring this information when you go: OCC-Billing-Information-Card.pdf (va.gov).

Top 10 reasons to get your flu and 2023-2024 COVID vaccines:

1. This is a free vaccine that will help protect you from major illness.
2. Towns with high rates of viral infection are called hotspots. Help prevent contributing to a hotspot in your hometown. #BeCool during flu season.
3. After three years and more than 600 million COVID vaccines given in the United States, vaccines are SAFE.
4. You trust the Durham VA Health Care System to provide you with world class health care. Ask your health care team what vaccines are recommended to keep you healthy.
5. Getting vaccinated not only protects YOU from severe disease but it ALSO protects those in your family and community like newborns, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
6. Enemies change tactics over time, and so do viruses. Fight back with the latest vaccines.
7. Live your best life. Flu and COVID can lead to complications like trouble breathing and can damage your heart and kidneys. We recommend vaccines so infections like the flu and COVID don’t hold you back from living the life you want.
8. The creators of the COVID-19 vaccines received the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
9. Your fellow Veterans are fighting these viruses by getting vaccinated. Join them!
10. They are recommended by your doctor!

We look forward to seeing you at one of our locations this Saturday. 

As always, thank you for your service.
