The Houston VA is holding a special COVID vaccine walk in clinic this Saturday, January 30th for our Veteran patients 75 and over in our primary care clinic on the first floor of the medical center!
Doors open at 8 a.m. and will remain open until vaccination limits are reached. No appointment is necessary. This is a two-dose series of vaccinations. Veterans must be available for a follow up appt for the second dose in about three weeks. Veterans can park in any visitor or Veteran parking lot and enter through our main entrance. Valet parking will not be available. Due to COVID, we have limited space in the hospital and all Veterans should come alone unless they need assistance from one family member.
Those wishing to be vaccinated must bring identification, wear a mask to enter the facility, maintain social distancing, and not be ill, including having any COVID symptoms such as coughing or a fever. The Houston VA asks everyone to be flexible during the vaccine process and we will provide a safe environment for all Veterans and staff as we work to distribute the COVID vaccine to interested Veterans as quickly as possible.
If you have a question or concern about whether you should get the COVID vaccine based on your specific medical conditions or your medical history, please contact your primary care provider for assistance. If you have general questions about this week-end’s COVID-19 walk in clinic or you are 75 years and older and would like to make an appointment to get the COVID vaccine during the week, call us at 713-794-8985.
