The 2026–2027 COVID-19 vaccine is now available through VA, but supplies are currently limited, and availability may vary by location.

Want to get vaccinated?
Ask your VA care team about availability at your preferred VA location. If the vaccine is not available at your preferred site, eligible Veterans may also receive a COVID-19 vaccine at an in-network community pharmacy.

When visiting an in-network pharmacy:
- Tell the pharmacy you are a Veteran enrolled in VA healthcare and would like a COVID-19 vaccine paid for by VA
- Show a valid government-issued ID
- Provide the pharmacy with the VA billing information
- Payer ID: VACCN
- BIN: 004336
- PCN: ADV
- Rx Group: Rx3841
- Veteran ID: 10-digit Veteran ID or SSN
- DOB: YYMMDD
- Pharmacy Help Desk: 800-364-6331 (24/7 Access)

Vaccinated in the community?
Please let us know. Share a copy of your vaccination record with your VA care team so your medical record and immunization history are accurate.

Don't let vaccine availability at one location keep you from getting protected this respiratory illness season.

Community vaccination coverage and eligibility are subject to VA requirements. Veterans should use an in-network pharmacy.

No Veteran should be homeless in the country they swore an oath to defend.

If you are a Veteran who is homeless or at risk of homelessness, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Call the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 877-424-3838 for assistance.
The call is free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
