Erie VA Medical Center & VA Community Clinics Host Free Drive-Thru Flu Clinics

Erie VA Medical Center is pleased to announce that we are hosting drive-thru flu clinics on Saturdays, beginning October 2, 2021.

Free flu shots will be available to Veterans who are eligible for VA health care and have a valid VA ID card. This year, flu shots will be drive-thru only to ensure the safety of our Veterans and employees. Masks are required to be worn on the VA campus – even in your vehicle while receiving the flu shot.

Saturday drive-thru flu shot clinics held in the lower level of the Erie VAMC parking garage on:

A flu shot is just one of the many benefits offered by the Erie VAMC. Veterans who have never enrolled in VA health care may bring their DD-214 discharge papers to see if they are eligible. Veterans must be eligible for VA health care to receive a free flu shot. Tricare for Life patients are not eligible.

After the above dates, flu shots will be available by appointment only. From that day forward, call and Press 2.
