Be a Flu Fighter!

Protect yourself.  Protect your family.  Protect your community.  Get your flu shot.

All enrolled Veterans at the Salisbury VA Health Care System have the opportunity to receive a free flu shot.

Starting Monday, September 14, 2026, there will be multiple opportunities to receive your flu shot:

Option 1:  During a scheduled primary or specialty care appointment. If you already have a scheduled appointment, you may request and receive your flu shot at that time.

Option 2: During in-patient hospitalization. You may ask for or be offered a flu shot before being discharged from the hospital.

Option 3: Flu Shot “Walk-In” at your Primary Care Clinic. Walk-in Flu shots will be available at all Salisbury VA facilities. No appointment required - scroll down for times and locations at each of our facilities.

Option 4: Community Care Network: Beginning September 2026, eligible Veterans can choose from one of nearly 70,000 in-network retail pharmacies and urgent care/walk-in locations to get their flu shot.

The provider must be part of VA’s community care network:

• Retail pharmacies include most supermarket and local pharmacies.
• Many urgent care locations offer walk-in care.
• Call ahead to see if a pharmacy participates in the VA flu shot program.
• If you receive a flu shot from a non-network provider, you may be liable for the cost of the vaccine.

Who can get a flu shot at a community provider?

You are eligible to receive a flu shot at an in-network retail pharmacy or urgent care location if:

• You are enrolled in the VA health care system, AND,
• You received care from a VA provider or an in-network community care provider within the past 24 months

How do I know if I am eligible?

• Call 800-MyVA411 (800-698-2411)
  • Step 1: Press 1 (for urgent care information)
  • Step 2: Press 3 (for urgent care information)
  • Step 3: Press 1 (to check urgent care eligibility)

The system will verify your eligibility for the community urgent care benefit, which includes the flu vaccination.

• Or call your local VA facility
