Vaccines and Immunizations

Latest updates: September 14, 2023

New guidance for 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines

The CDC recommends that all adults get an updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine.

If it’s been at least 2 months since your last COVID-19 vaccine dose, you should get a single dose of the updated 2023-2024 vaccine now. This is also true if you never got a COVID-19 vaccine before.

If you have certain conditions that weaken your immune system, you may be eligible to get additional doses of the updated 2023-2024 vaccine. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you. 

Before you go to a VA health facility to get a COVID-19 vaccine, call to make sure the facility has the vaccine you want.

Flu Vaccines

Get Your Flu Shot

Flu Vaccines Have Arrived!! (8/23/2023)

The Fargo VA Health Care System will hold several free flu shot clinics in September and October 2023 for Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare.

Flu Vaccines are also available at your scheduled appointments at all of our Clinics Monday-Friday 

For questions about eligibility, call 1-800-410-9723, extension 3428.

Veterans should bring their Veteran ID card and appropriate clothing such as a short-sleeve shirt to receive a flu vaccine. Veterans experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should present for their flu vaccine when it has been at least 5 days since the onset of symptoms. COVID-19 symptoms need to be improved, and at least 24 hours without fever greater than 100.0 F. If you have questions regarding COVID-19 and the flu vaccine, please contact your healthcare provider.

We have plenty of flu vaccines and have an efficient process to vaccinate everyone. We've seen an excellent response of Veterans arriving early and ready for their vaccination. Unfortunately, this can create a longer line of people waiting to get vaccinated. So, if you are able, feel free to take your time when arriving to get your vaccination. It may save you some time!
