North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System Vaccination Clinic Operational - Updated 021722

PRESS RELEASE

February 17, 2022

Gainesville, FL - Veteran and employee safety continues to be our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. With variants such as Delta and Omicron, it’s more important than ever to ensure you are protected by getting your COVID-19 Vaccine and booster shots.

The CDC recommends that everyone who is at least 12 years old should get a booster shot. (NF/SGVHS does not offer vaccines to youth under age 18.)

When to get your booster shot

  • If you got the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine: At least 5 months after you completed your primary vaccine series
  • If you got the Moderna vaccine: At least 5 months after you completed your primary vaccine series
  • If you got the Janssen (J&J) vaccine: At least 2 months after you got your primary vaccine

Those who are eligible are encouraged to call to schedule an appointment. To ensure Veterans have access to the vaccine, we have updated our no appointment needed COVID-19 Vaccination clinic days and times at many of our sites of care. Please make sure to bring your CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card with you.

As a reminder, we are currently limiting visitation and continuing to require medical grade face coverings for everyone – entering a VA facility. This policy remains in place at all VA facilities even if state or local masking requirements change.
