Health.mil – As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, respiratory illness season is approaching and the best way to protect ourselves is with vaccinations, available free of charge to Veterans receiving care at VA.
For Veterans, staying healthy is especially important and by taking the simple step of getting vaccinated, you’ll protect yourself and those around you. Many Veterans have underlying health conditions like the flu, RSV, COVID-19 or bacterial pneumonia that can lead to serious complications, especially in older adults and those with compromised immune systems.
Flu and COVID-19 vaccines do not require a prescription at VA network locations. For help with in-network community shots, call 877-881-7618 or your local VA facility. You can call your local VA to learn when and where you can get vaccines.
