COVID-19 vaccination
We offer the 2024-25 COVID mRNA COVID vaccine which targets the Omicron KP.2 variant. Contact your primary care team for an appointment. You may also be able to get your vaccination from a VA Community Care Network (CCN) provider.
Free rides to COVID vaccine appointments
Veterans enrolled in VA Bedford Healthcare System are now eligible to receive free rides from VA’s Rideshare program to get to their scheduled COVID-19 vaccine or booster appointments, or for scheduled walk-in vaccination clinics. Ask about the Rideshare program when you book your appointment.
