COVID-19 vaccines
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the use of COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 vaccine boosters. VA follows CDC recommendations. Our goal is to have the vaccines widely available throughout our VA system.
Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine at Alaska VA Healthcare?
We offer COVID-19 vaccines to these groups:
- All Veterans (including Veterans who live or travel outside of the U.S. and are eligible for the VA Foreign Medical Program)
- Spouses and surviving spouses of Veterans
- Caregivers of Veterans (including family members or friends who provide care to a Veteran)
- Recipients of Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) benefits
We are offering both initial COVID vaccine series, boosters, and additional doses for immunosuppressed patients. We have Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccines.
