Vaccines and Immunizations
Staying up to date with immunizations helps protect you from severe respiratory illness. Flu, COVID-19, and RSV infections have caused over 800,000 hospitalizations nationwide. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness and death. While you may still get sick if you are vaccinated, you are less likely to be hospitalized or die from these respiratory illnesses.

Where Else Can I Get Vaccinated?

- To get a no-cost vaccine at a pharmacy near you, the provider or pharmacy must be part of VA’s community care network. If you receive a vaccine from a non-network provider, you may be liable for the cost of the vaccine. You are eligible to receive a no-cost flu, COVID-19 vaccine at an in-network retail pharmacy or urgent care location if:
- You are enrolled in the VA Healthcare system, AND,
- You received care from a VA provider or an in-network community care provider within the past 24 months.
- Veterans with an existing approved community care referral are authorized to receive other adult VA approved vaccines at an in-network retail pharmacy, but a prescription is required for these immunizations (not flu or COVID-19 vaccines). These vaccines include:
- Tdap
- Zoster (Shingrix)
- Pneumococcal Pneumonia (Prevnar 20)
- RSV
- You can search for an in-network pharmacy by going to Find VA Locations | Veterans Affairs. Bring this billing card with you when you go: OCC-Billing-Information-Card.pdf (va.gov). Or learn more here: https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-vaccines-at-va-or-in-network-community-facilities/
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (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, and have not receieved your single RSV vaccine, talk with your health care provider about whether RSV vaccination is right for you. RSV vaccine would benefit you specially if you have an underlying medical condition that may put you at higher risk for severe RSV infection.
Pneumococcal (Pneumonia) Vaccine

Pneumococcal vaccines for adults are recommended for the following people, or as directed by your health care provider:
- Adults ages 19 to 49 with a chronic medical condition, have conditions that compromise their immune system, have a cerebrospinal fluid leak or cochlear implants or who smoke cigarettes.
- Adults age 50 and older. If you have never had a pneumococcal vaccine, don’t know if you have had a vaccine, or aren’t sure you’ve completed the recommended vaccine series.
