COVID-19 information

We are offering vaccinations for adults and pediatric patients.

Active-duty requirements

The Department of Defense already requires all active-duty service members to get other types of vaccines before they join the military. The COVID-19 vaccine has been added to the list for all active-duty service members (ADSMs) and National Guard members. 

COVID-19 shots in your community

If you are a service member and you have received a COVID-19 vaccine from a non-DoD provider, make sure to update your medical records. You can bring your COVID-19 vaccine card to Fisher Clinic (Bldg. 237 on Naval Station Great Lakes) to have your record updated.

Parking for TRICARE beneficiaries

Park in the four-story garage and come in the main (valet parking) entrance to the ambulatory care clinic in Bldg. 133EF. The front desk will direct you to the immunizations clinic, then follow the signs.

Staff (Active-Duty)

Lovell FHCC staff members (Active Duty) should contact Employee Occupational Health to schedule a vaccine appointment. Email: FHCCLovellStaffCOVID-19VaccineRequest@va.gov. 

Testing

Enrolled patients should go to their primary care clinic location for testing.

RSV information

We are offering RSV vaccinations for pregnant patients and adults 60 years and older. We do not have RSV vaccinations for infants or young children at this time.

Mpox vaccinations

All beneficiaries should talk to their primary care provider to see if they are eligible for an mpox vaccine. If deemed eligible:

  • TRICARE beneficiaries should call
  • Active Duty service members should call

  • It's still important to follow CDC guidelines to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The more steps you and your family can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the safer you'll be.

  • The Defense Department is working closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department to provide support in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Flu – short for influenza – is a respiratory illness that spreads easily from person to person. Getting a flu shot (vaccine) is your best protection against the flu. Everyone age 6 months and older should get the vaccine each flu season (Sept through early spring).

  • Flu activity is elevated across the country. There’s still time to benefit from a flu vaccine if you haven’t gotten one yet.
