Information about COVID-19 Vaccines

Vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19; they also reduce the risk of mild-moderate illness from COVID-19.  All Veterans, their spouses, and caregivers may be vaccinated through VA thanks to the SAVE LIVES Act.  Unenrolled Veterans, spouses, and caregivers must register through eligibility before they can be vaccinated.

COVID Vaccines are available at all clinics (except Brunswick). If you cannot get to a VA clinic, vaccines are free and available in the community; you can search for a vaccine site in your area by going to COVID-19 Vaccine Information | NC COVID-19 (ncdhhs.gov).  If you get your COVID-19 vaccine outside the VA, please notify your health care team and provide the date(s) and type of vaccine you received so your medical record can be updated.

Fayetteville NC VA Coastal Health Care System medical facilities are now offering COVID booster vaccines for eligible Veterans (spouses, caregivers).

Appointments and walk-in availability will vary by facility. Veterans should call the COVID Vaccine Info-Appointment Line at 910-475-6622 to schedule an appointment.

It is our honor to provide your medical care and we are continually grateful for your service! Take care and thank you for getting vaccinated!  Together, let’s take care of each other and end this pandemic.
