Influenza (flu) Vaccinations

Flu vaccines are highly recommended to reduce the chance of getting sick with flu and to prevent the spread of flu to others. They can decrease your chances of hospitalization and are available to all eligible and enrolled Veterans at no cost. We ask that you wear a short-sleeved shirt when you go to get vaccinated.

Flu vaccination season at VA Portland Health Care System ended on May 7, 2024. We administered nearly 17,000 flu vaccinations this season. Thank you everyone who got vaccinated as it keeps you and your community safe.

Please check back in September 2024 for information about the 2024-2025 flu season at VA Portland Health Care System.
