Lebanon VA Medical Center has free flu shots for Veterans

Starting January 15, free flu vaccinations are available for Veterans enrolled in VA health care and VA staff.

The flu shot is recommended for people 6 months of age and older.

The flu vaccination is your best protection against the flu, which usually begins in the fall and can continue through late spring.

Protection can take up to 2 weeks to develop after vaccination and it lasts about a year.

This year the flu is hitting earlier than normal and some areas have been especially hard hit.

Vaccinations are available for enrolled Veterans every business day in Building 17 on the fifth floor of the Lebanon VA Medical Center from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. No appointment is necessary.
