VA appointments, free flu clinics or Walgreens!

Flu vaccinations are now available for Veterans enrolled in VA health care. Veterans may request the flu shot at their regularly scheduled VA appointments.

Veterans may also get vaccinated during free walk-in flu shot clinics at Sault Ste. Marie VA Clinic Wednesday, Oct. 18 and 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. each day. No appointment is necessary. The clinic is located at 509 Osborn Blvd, Suite 306. Veterans may call 800- 215-8262, ext. 34758, for updated VA Flu Shot Clinics throughout the Upper Peninsula.

In addition, the VA has partnered with Walgreens to provide no-cost flu shots to enrolled Veterans without filling out VA forms or carrying paper records. Veterans can simply go to their local Walgreens, tell the pharmacist they receive care at a VA facility, and show their Veterans Identification Card or other proof they are enrolled in the VA health care system. The immunization record will be updated electronically in the Veteran’s VA medical record.
