Saturday flu shot clinics for Veterans, military retirees, and military families

The North Chicago campus flu shot clinic is available to active duty military families, military retirees and Veterans who are enrolled for care with VA. The CBOCs are open to Veterans.

Veterans enrolled for care at Lovell FHCC or at another VA medical center qualify for free flu shots. Veterans not already enrolled are encouraged to register for care at the FHCC prior to coming in for Saturday flu shot clinics. To enroll, go to our website and fill out an Application for Health Care Benefits, which can be submitted electronically, mailed or brought to the FHCC in person. For questions, contact the eligibility office at 224-610-3747.

All patients also may get their flu shots during their regular primary care and specialty appointments at Lovell FHCC facilities.

Veterans may choose to get their flu shots at local pharmacies (in the VA network), and then have the immunization information transferred directly to Lovell FHCC. Please click on the link to find a VA location or in-network community care provider.

Department of Defense beneficiaries, too, may get their flu shots in the community at participating pharmacies. To search online by zip code, go to https://militaryrx.express-scripts.com/find-pharmacy.
