Flu Season 2020-2021

Did you know it is possible to get COVID-19 and flu at the same time? That is why this year it is more important than ever for our Veterans to protect themselves by getting the flu shot.
Flu shots are available NOW at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and at its community outpatient clinic locations for enrolled Veterans with a VA ID Card.

It's not too late to vaccinate!
If you haven't gotten vaccinated yet, it's not too late to protect yourself against flu. Flu activity usually peaks between December and February, but viruses can continue to cause illness as late as May. Veterans should continue to get vaccinated for as long as flu viruses are still circulating in the community. Don't delay! Get your flu shot today!
Charleston VAMC Veteran patients can also receive a free flu shot at any CVS Caremark partner or in-network urgent care partner in the community. Veterans will need to bring their VA ID with them and then update their VA primary care team that they have received the vaccination.
