Montana VA launching statewide flu shot campaign
HELENA — The Montana VA Health Care System is launching its 2024 flu vaccination campaign with statewide walk-in or drive-up flu clinics.
The statewide launch will take place on October 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the Montana VA is encouraging all veterans to get their annual flu shot.
"Flu is a preventable illness, and Montana VA is here to help every Veteran protect themselves and their loved ones with easy access to flu shots," said Montana VA Health Care System Executive Director Duane Gill. "Our walk-in or drive-up clinics make it quick and easy for our enrolled Veterans to arrive at their convenience to get their flu shot and go."
Montana's Veterans have multiple options to get their flu shot this year:
- Montana Veterans who are enrolled with VA healthcare will be offered flu shots at their Montana VA primary care appointments.
- No-cost flu vaccines are available to enrolled Veterans at pharmacies and urgent care locations across Montana. To find a close-to-home and in-network community care provider, search by entering in your home zip code in the drop-down menu of the VA locator .
- ALL local VA clinics (excluding Browning) are holding walk-in or drive-up flu clinics on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. with the Fort Harrison drive-up flu clinic held from 7: a.m. until 5 p.m.
