Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine at Roseburg VA Health Care System?

  • Veterans
  • Spouses and surviving spouses of Veterans: For COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, we are including spouses of same-sex and common-law marriages. Eligibility includes a widow or widower of a Veteran. If an individual characterizes his or her relationship as spousal, he or she can receive the vaccine.
  • Caregivers of a Veteran: For COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, we define a caregiver as a family member or friend who provides care to the Veteran. Caregivers may help the Veteran with personal needs like feeding, bathing, or dressing. They may also help the Veteran with tasks like shopping or transportation. A person stating that they are the caregiver of a Veteran and giving the Veteran’s name is sufficient to give him or her a vaccine.
  • CHAMPVA recipients

​​​​​​​The expanded authority depends on readily available COVID-19 vaccine supply and requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to continue to prioritize Veterans enrolled in VA care.

One Visit - Two Vaccines

Veterans can get their COVID-19 and influenza vaccines through one of the following options:

  1. Enrolled Veterans can go to a vaccine clinic with no appointment:

    Tuesday, November 8, and Wednesday, November 9, 2022, from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

  1. Roseburg VA Health Care System (all sites) - During a scheduled primary care appointment.

  2. Access in the Community:

The updated COVID-19 bivalent boosters protect against both the original virus strain and the Omicron variant. An updated booster will protect you even more against COVID-19. More information about COVID-19 booster vaccines can be found at COVID-19 Booster Shots | Veterans Affairs (va.gov).

Ensure necessary billing information is printed out or available on a mobile device beforehand to ensure the non-VA flu shot provider has the information needed to submit the claim properly. Roseburg VA Health Care System sites are located in Regions 4 and 5 on the following resource Optum and TriWest Billing Information (va.gov).

Veterans are encouraged to get both their COVID-19 and influenza vaccines at the same appointment. For any questions, ask your healthcare provider.
