COVID-19 Vaccine Available at VA for Eligible Adolescents: Recently, the CDC recommended that adolescents who are 12-18 years old may receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. CHAMPVA benefit recipients may be vaccinated at their local VA facility, provided the facility has the Pfizer vaccine in stock. Contact the VA facility to ensure they have the Pfizer vaccine in stock. Eligible veterans, spouses, caregivers, CHAMPVA beneficiaries nationwide can walk into their local VA facility’s vaccine clinic to receive their COVID-19 vaccines. Veterans not enrolled in VA care should pre-register online at least one hour before arrival to save time. The expanded access to the COVID-19 vaccine at VA is a result of the SAVE LIVES Act. See the VA’s answers to frequently asked questions regarding the COVID-19 vaccine in Part I and Part II for more information. (Source: VFW 05/31/21)
