RSV Vaccines

RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. However, infants and adults (over 50) are more likely to develop severe RSV. This can lead to hospitalization.  If you are a Veteran who is 50 years and older, talk with your health care provider about whether RSV vaccination is right for you, especially if you have an underlying medical condition that may put you at higher risk for severe RSV infection.  

Where Can I get Vaccinated?

• Veterans enrolled in VA health care can go to a nearest VA hospital or clinic. Call ahead (scroll down to see your local clinic’s contact phone number) or send your provider a secure message on https://www.va.gov/health-care/manage-health/ to make sure the vaccine you want is available.  All vaccines listed on this site are available at the Fargo VAMC location.  Vaccines are also available during your scheduled clinic appointments Monday – Friday.
