Covid-19 vaccines and testing | veterans affairs

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends booster shots for everyone ages 18 years and older for Moderna and J&J vaccines, and everyone 12 years and older for the

Pfizer vaccine. For those who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, you must have received your second dose at least five months ago. If you received the J&J vaccine, you must have

received your original doze at least two months ago to receive a booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots. Moderna and Johnson &

Johnson boosters are available on a walk-in basis to Veterans 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in the BLUE CLINIC (PRIMARY CARE) at the main medical center. We still encourage

you to call 801-582-1565 and press 2 to schedule an appointment for your booster shot. VA Salt Lake City Community clinics are also offering the boosters, but you must call 801-582-1565 and

press 2 to schedule an appointment. If you haven’t been fully vaccinated yet, we are still giving the Moderna vaccine on a walk-in basis in COVID -19 Vaccination Clinic. We can give a first

or second dose to any Veteran or their caregiver. COVID-19 TESTING COVID-19 DRIVE-THRU TESTING VA Salt Lake City Healthcare System offers free COVID-19 testing to Veterans enrolled in VA
