Full text of the Press Release

Flu vaccination is the best protection we have in keeping our Veterans safe from seasonal influenza. If you are a Veteran enrolled in VA health care and have a VA ID card, you have options for receiving your flu shot:

The convenient drive-thru is located in parking lot ā€œZā€ Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please follow the directional signs from the main entrance gate.

Veterans may also receive a flu shot at their community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC) in the following locations: Cumberland, Fort Detrick, and Hagerstown, Maryland; Harrisonburg and Stephens City, Virginia; and Franklin and Petersburg, West Virginia.

Veterans choosing to receive their no-cost flu shot at participating Community Care Network pharmacies or urgent care locations can learn more at www.va.gov/CommunityCare/flushot.asp.

Also offered at the medical center drive-thru location is the COVID-19 primary vaccination series and Bivalent booster. Due to significantly improved protection, receiving a vaccination (or an updated booster) is critical for protection against COVID-19.

Please remember that face coverings are required on the Martinsburg VAMC campus, as well as our community-based outpatient clinic locations, to keep our Veterans and staff safe.
