Subject: VA and Walgreens Team Up to Provide Flu Vaccinations to Veterans

The cold and flu season is upon us and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
has once again teamed up with Walgreens Pharmacies nationwide to allow all 
veterans who are currently enrolled in the VA healthcare system to be able 
walk into any of the over 8000 Walgreens nationally (and the Duane Reade 
pharmacies in the New York metropolitan area) to receive a vaccination at no 
cost.  Vaccinations will be available through March 31, 2017.

Veterans wishing to receive the no cost vaccination simply need to present a 
Veterans Identification Card and a photo ID, at any participating Walgreens 
to receive the vaccination.

In addition, after the Walgreens pharmacist administers the vaccine 
Walgreens will transmit that information securely to VA where it becomes 
part of the patient’s electronic medical record.

VA is committed to keeping Veteran patients healthy, and during this flu 
season, vaccination is the best way to prevent the spread of flu.  No matter 
where you live, visit your local VA clinic or Walgreens to get a free flu 
shot.

To find your local VA, visit va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp.
To locate a Walgreens store near you, call 800-WALGREENs (800-925-4733), or 
go to com/findastore.
