Are you already signed up with the VA for medical treatments? Have you already received your COVID 19 Vaccine? If not, you may qualify for treatment and an early vaccine at the VA!
Additionally, even if you already have health insurance, you may also qualify for additional health coverage through the VA and save those ugly high co-payments.
For additional information please reference the information below. But did you know; the VA offers it's qualified members the ability to charge your health insurance for the treatments they provide and anything not covered by your insurance could be covered by the VA at the cost of about $15.00 for the visit (please reference below for additional information).
If interested, contact the VA, apply today and find out how as a veteran you can receive your COVID 19 vaccine early.

An update on how we'll contact you about getting a COVID-19 vaccine
We continue to contact Veterans as they become eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine. We base eligibility on VA and CDC COVID-19 risk criteria<https://gcc02.safelin
What does this mean for me?
When you signed up for these updates, you told us that you plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine when one is available to you. Your local VA health facility may use this information to contact you when your risk group becomes eligible.
Note for caregivers: If you're a designated primary or secondary caregiver in our Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers<https://gcc02.safel
You should know:
* To get a vaccine at VA, Veterans must be already receiving health care at VA. If you don't receive care at VA now, find out if you're eligible for VA health care and how to apply<https://gcc02.safelinks.
* To get a vaccine at VA, family caregivers must be enrolled in our Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers<https://gcc02.safel
* If you didn't provide your Social Security number and date of birth when you signed up, we may not be able to match you to your local facility. If you'd like, you can submit a new form and provide that information now. Go to our COVID-19 vaccine page<https://gcc02.safelinks.p
How will VA contact me when I can get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Your local VA health facility may contact you by phone, email, or text message. If you're eligible and want to get a vaccine, we encourage you to respond.
But before you provide any personal information or click on any links, be sure the call, email, or text is really from VA.
* Text messages will always come from 53079.
* Emails will always come from a va.gov email address.
* If someone calls you from VA and you don't recognize the phone number, ask for a number to call them back. Then call your local VA health facility to verify.
Your facility may invite you to get a vaccine in different ways:
* They may invite you to a large vaccination event, like a drive-thru clinic.
* They may offer you a specific date and time to get a vaccine.
* They may ask you to schedule an appointment.
Why would VA contact Veterans who plan to get a vaccine first?
At this time, we still have a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines. And we must follow strict requirements for how to store and handle these vaccines. Because of this, we often need to bring Veterans in quickly to get a vaccine so we don't waste any doses.
Contacting Veterans who we know plan to get a vaccine helps us do the most good with our limited supply.
Please know: By sharing your plans for getting a vaccine, you help us better plan our efforts. But we'll contact every eligible Veteran in each risk group to ask if they want to get a vaccine. You don't need to call or come to a VA facility to request or reserve a vaccine.
