VA offering no-cost COVID-19 vaccines
IRON MOUNTAIN — The 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine is available at no-cost to eligible veterans at the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center.
Walk-in clinics will be held in the primary care waiting room from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. today through Friday. No appointment is necessary to receive the vaccine.
Veterans are encouraged to receive a no-cost vaccine to protect themselves, their families, and the community from complications associated with COVID-19, officials said.
Veterans unable to attend the walk-in clinics can receive the 2024/25 COVID-19 vaccine, or the annual flu vaccine, from their PACT team provider at a regularly scheduled appointment.
Veterans can also receive their vaccines from a community provider. To find a community provider near you, go to www.va.gov/find-locations, enter your zip code, then click on community pharmacies to display options.
Veterans should call ahead and confirm the community location offers no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to Veterans through this VA benefit and make sure to follow through with all documentation requirements.
To be eligible for a vaccine from a community provider, veterans must be enrolled in VA health care and have received care from either a VA provider or a member of VA’s Community Care Network within the past 24 months. To check eligibility, veterans can call 800-MyVA411 (800-698-2411).
The 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine will also be offered through the OGJVAMC Community Based Outpatient Clinics across the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin during scheduled walk-in clinics. Appointments are required for CBOC clinics. Veterans can call 800-215-8262 or 906-774-3300, and press 2, then 2 to schedule an appointment through the regional clinic call center.
