Walla Walla drive-through flu shot campaign for Veterans

0

Walla Walla, WA – The Walla Walla Veteran Affairs (VA) has launched its flu shot campaign to vaccinate eligible Veterans at all VA clinic locations.

The flu shot vaccine gets updated annually, so it is recommended Veterans get it each year in the fall, as soon as flu shots are available.

The flu shot is safe and effective, and a person cannot get the flu from the flu shot.

If you are unable to make any of these drive-through clinics, contact your provider team to schedule an appointment to get vaccinated. Veterans enrolled in VA health care can also get flu shots in their community at other VA health care facilities, community urgent care providers in VA’s network, and community pharmacies in VA’s network.
