There are five opportunities to receive your flu shot:
Option 1: Scheduled appointments. If you already have a scheduled appointment, you may receive your flu shot at that time. Includes Primary Care, Specialty Care Clinics and the Franklin, Hickory and Rutherford County Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs).
Option 2: During in-patient hospitalization. You may ask for a flu shot before being discharged from hospital.
Option 3: Flu Shot “Drive Thru” Clinic. Flu shots will be available curbside during designated times (see table below) at the Charles George VA Medical Center and Franklin CBOC.
Option 4: Flu Shot “Walk-In” Clinic. Flu shots will be available at the COVID Vaccine Clinic in Building 70, Room 123, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (9/19/22 – 11/18/22). Franklin, Hickory and Rutherford County Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) will also accept walk-ins with no appointments 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Option 5: Community Care Network: Starting September 1st, 2022, enrolled Veterans (who received care through either a VA or community provider within the past 24 months) can receive a flu shot through the Community Care Network (CCN). CCN in-retail contracted pharmacies or urgent care/walk-in care locations (standalone visit) will provide flu shots at no cost with no copayment. Retail pharmacy examples are CVS Pharmacy, COSTCO Pharmacy and Walmart Pharmacy.
