Veterans Affairs to Hold Vaccination Event April 10 at VA Clinic in Northfield

NORTHFIELD, NJ. — The Atlantic County Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) is scheduled to hold a COVID-19 vaccination event for Veterans and their spouses and caregivers Saturday, April 10 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the clinic location at 1909 New Road, Northfield, NJ 08225.

The SAVE LIVES Act of 2021 gave VA authority to offer COVID-19 vaccines, based on availability, to:

  • All Veterans – anyone who served in the U.S. military is eligible.
  • Spouses and surviving spouses of Veterans.
  • Caregivers of Veterans. For COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, we define a caregiver as a family member or friend who provides care to a Veteran.
  • Recipients of Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) benefits.
     

Pre-Registration

Although there will be walk-in availability, all Veterans and their spouses and caregivers are encouraged to pre-register in-person at the Atlantic County CBOC in Northfield this week between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for the vaccination event on Saturday. Pre-registering will help save time on the day of the event.
