Stay healthy and get your flu shot in 2023! | va montana health care | veterans affairs

Fall is beginning and that means now is the time to get ready for flu season! This year, enrolled Veterans have multiple options to make getting a flu shot easy. WHY GET THE FLU SHOT? By

getting the flu shot, you set yourself up to be as healthy as possible. Flu is always a preventable respiratory infection. Plus, the healthy habits you have adopted—covering your cough,

washing your hands often, and staying home when you are sick—will continue to protect us all as we enter flu season. The flu shot protects yourself, your loved ones, the healthcare

professionals who care for you, and our most vulnerable populations.  HOW DO YOU GET A FLU SHOT? YOU HAVE OPTIONS!  * Veterans who are enrolled with VA healthcare will be offered flu shots

at their Montana VA primary care appointments.    * No-cost flu vaccines are available to enrolled Veterans at pharmacies and urgent care locations across Montana. To find a close-to-home
