COVID-19 vaccines at VA | Veterans Affairs

Veterans are receiving phone calls asking for their interest in getting the COVID-19 vaccine and also for personally identifiable information such as date of birth and full social security numbers. Please know these phone calls are a SCAM and it's not VA calling Veterans or staff asking for this information.

The only national communication going out to Veterans about the COVID-19 Vaccine is via email, encouraging Veterans to sign up to stay informed via the VA COVID-19 website linked here: www.va.gov/covid-19-vaccine/


Keep updated & let us know how we're doing.
