COVID-19 vaccines
We offer the COVID-19 vaccine to Veterans who are enrolled for VA health care and receive primary care at VA Pittsburgh. These Veterans can make an appointment at any of our seven sites of care or stop by primary care on our University Drive and H.J. Heinz III campuses.
Primary Care
At the H.J. Heinz III campus, primary care is located in building 71 on the second floor.
At the University Drive campus, primary care is located in building 1 on the first floor.
COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters
We provide only the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent vaccine or booster to Veterans who receive primary care at VA Pittsburgh and received either the Pfizer, Moderna or Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) vaccine. CDC recommends people get up to date with COVID-19 vaccination as soon as feasible, which includes the completed primary series and any recommended additional or booster doses for which they are eligible. To learn more, see CDC’s groups recommended for vaccination or guidance for people who are immunocompromised.
If you decide to get any vaccine outside of VA, please tell your VA health care team. You can call them or use secure messaging. For information on how to use secure messaging, please see VA secure messaging.
