COVID-19 Vaccines
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized two COVID-19 vaccines. VA will have a limited amount of vaccines to start. We've worked with the CDC and other federal partners to develop a phased plan. Our goal is to do the most good for the most people during this time.
Currently, VA is offering COVID-19 vaccine to Veterans already receiving care from the VA, based on CDC and VA risk criteria. If you're eligible to get a vaccine, your VA health care team will contact you.
Veterans who are not enrolled or do not currently receive care at VA can visit VA's Eligibility web page to learn more: Eligibility For VA Health Care | Veterans Affairs
NF/SGVHS COVID-19 Vaccine Update
You must already receive care at VA or be eligible to receive care at VA in order to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine.
To Schedule an Appointment for a COVID-19 Vaccine
Call 352-548-6000 ext. 103755 to schedule an appointment. If we are experiencing a higher call volume than normal, you may be re-directed, or you may hear a busy signal.
