Drive-Through Flu Clinic, Outreach Event for Veterans at Lynn CBOC
VA Bedford is hosting a mobile drive-through flu vaccination clinic and VA healthcare enrollment event for Veterans on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in the parking lot of the Lynn Community Based Outreach Clinic, located at 225 Boston Street.
Veterans currently enrolled in VA healthcare may receive a no-cost standard flu shot with a Veteran ID, VA ID card, Veteran driver’s license or social security number.
All veterans eligible for VA healthcare are welcome to attend and complete their enrollment. Documents required include current insurance card, if any, including Medicare or Medicaid, and DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. Purple Heart recipients should bring a copy of their award letter if the Purple Heart is not noted on their DD214.
“VA continues to offer Veterans options when it comes to their health care,” VA Bedford Director Joan Clifford said. “Receiving a vaccine remains the best way to prevent getting the flu.”
The drive-through flu vaccination clinic will allow Veterans to remain in their vehicles. Veterans are asked to wear a mask and a short-sleeved shirt.
This year, the flu season coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting the flu vaccination can help protect vulnerable individuals and coworkers at risk for severe illness, as well as reduce surges that could threaten the health care system infrastructure. Veterans can personally benefit from getting vaccinated by minimizing their risk of getting flu and reducing the severity of their illness if they do get flu.
High Dose vaccine supply is currently limited and being distributed to those older inpatients and Veterans residing in VA Bedford’s Community Living Center. Veterans should contact their VA primary care provider for information on the high-dose vaccine.
In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held on Oct. 31, 2020.
