Updated '24-'25 COVID-19 Vaccines Available at VA

Veterans: Please visit your local Salisbury VA location to receive your updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine today!

Salisbury VA is now offering updated Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for the 2024-2025 season free of charge to Veterans and VA employees. The updated vaccines target more recent COVID-19 strains. Due to changes in the virus, it is important to get the updated vaccine as soon as you are eligible.

Veterans may ask their provider or care team for the updated '24-'25 vaccine at their next care appointment. Vaccines are available at our Charlotte, Kernersville, and Salisbury locations.

You can also call us at 704-638-9000 to schedule an appointment for your updated vaccine. Our staff will help you find a time that’s convenient for you. 

New guidance for 2024-2025 vaccines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults get an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine. Before you go to a VA health facility to get a COVID-19 vaccine, call to make sure the facility has the vaccine you want.

Guidance for adults who have had a COVID-19 vaccine before 

Get 1 dose of a 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech). If you’re age 65 or older but you’re not moderately to severely immunocompromised, CDC no longer recommends additional vaccine doses.

Guidance for adults who have never had a COVID-19 vaccine before

If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, choose one of these options:

• Get 1 dose of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

Guidance for adults with certain health conditions that weaken your immune system

If you have had a COVID-19 vaccine before, get 1 dose of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. You may also be eligible to get additional doses of one of these vaccines. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you.

If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, choose one of these options:

• Get 3 doses of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine

You are up to date if you have had one dose of the most recent COVID-19 vaccines that became available in September 2024.

You can also receive your updated shot at no cost to you outside of VA.

You can locate a vaccine site at Vaccines.gov - Search for COVID-19 vaccine locations. 

If you received your vaccine outside of the VA, we encourage you to share this information with your VA health care team. You can do this by adding your vaccine information to your MyHealtheVet health summary for your own records.

To add your information, you’ll need a premium MyHealtheVet account. Learn more about managing your COVID-19 vaccine records online.
