Veterans Affairs (VA) Puget Sound announced it is now providing COVID-19 vaccinations to veterans at its clinics in Silverdale, Seattle, American Lake and Mount Vernon. Veterans must be healthcare eligible to be scheduled for vaccination, but do not need to be enrolled in primary care/Patient Aligned Care Team. All ages are eligible, but appointments are required (no walk-in vaccines). See this Kitsap County press release for more details.
Call 206-716-5716 to schedule an appointment or contact your primary care team at the Community Based Outreach Veterans Clinic in Silverdale.
The VA continues to follow its vaccination plan, which can be found here. The VA is proactively contacting Veterans to make vaccine appointments and prioritize Veterans at high risk, older, who have existing health problems and those living in nursing homes or other group living facilities. There is also outreach to those Veterans who may not be able to come to a clinic for a vaccination or who are hesitant to get the vaccine.
For more information, call 800-698-2411 and press 8 for COVID information or visit www.va.gov/health-care/covid-19-vaccine/ and VA Coronavirus Vaccine FAQs.
VHA Keep Me Informed allows Veterans to sign up to receive email updates.
