COVID-19 testing: All veterans with symptoms concerning for COVID-19 or those who are five (5) days from a confirmed exposure, may contact the 24-hour nurse advice line (800-733-0502) or their primary care clinic to arrange a COVID-19 test. Due to resource limitations, we do not offer repeat COVID testing for those who have recently tested positive, or for pre-travel or employment purposes.

COVID-19 vaccines: All Veterans, spouses and caregivers can get a COVID-19 vaccine at VA by appointment or walk-in clinic. Visit our vaccine information page on information regarding receiving your COVID-19 initial doses, as well as additional/booster doses.

Feeling sick with symptoms that could be from COVID-19? (Runny nose, cough, sore throat)

If your home test is negative, we still ask that you stay home from routine appointments so no respiratory infections of any kind are spread in our clinics.
