BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The best way to protect against the flu and its potentially serious complications is with a flu vaccine! The Beckley VA is offering a Drive-Thru Flu Vaccine Clinic for our enrolled Veterans.
The Beckley VAMC Campus drive-thru clinic dates are Monday, October 16 through Friday, November 3, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vaccines will be administered from the white medical trailer in the back of the parking lot. You will see signage directing you there.
Things to consider:
- We recommend wearing a short-sleeved shirt or one that has sleeves that can be rolled up easily.
- Please have your identification card ready.
- Use caution when following directional signs from the main gate of the medical center.
- No registration for an appointment is required.
- Stay in your vehicle. Our team will bring you the paperwork and administer the flu vaccine through your open car window/door.
CDC recommends vaccination of one dose each flu season. It takes about two weeks for protection to develop after vaccination.
Veterans enrolled in VA health care can get a free flu shot at: VA health care facilities, community urgent care providers (in VA’s network), and community pharmacies (in VA’s network). https://www.va.gov/find-locationshttps://www.prevention.va.gov/flu/flushots.asp
