Vaccines and Immunizations

Get Your Immunizations for the 2024-2025 Fall and Winter Virus Season

Flu, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause most hospitalizations from respiratory illness during fall and winter seasons. 

RSV Vaccines

RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. However, infants and older adults (over 60) are more likely to develop severe RSV. This can lead to hospitalization.  If you are a Veteran who is 60 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 www.myhealth.va.gov/mhv-portal-web/home 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. 
• Flu& COVID-19  and other adult VA approved vaccines are available free of charge to Veterans enrolled in VA Healthcare Services. 
  • For questions about eligibility, call 1- extension 3428
• 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 health care 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, Pneumovax 23)
  • 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)
