Montana VA Health Care System is launching its 2025 Flu vaccination campaign on Oct. 7 with statewide walk-in or drive-up flu clinics.

The statewide launch will be expanding its hours of operation this year. Depending on the location, the Montana VA will be offering vaccinations from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; or 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Flu is highly contagious, and anyone can get it. It is especially harmful to the elderly and those who have health problems like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and people with weakened immune symptoms. Pregnant women, people older than 50, health care personnel, and those who care for friends and family members should get a flu shot.

The MTVA highly encourages all Veterans to get their annual flu shot. Regardless of age, the flu shot protects Veterans, their loved ones, the healthcare professionals who care for them, as well as our most vulnerable populations -- those who have health problems like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women.

Montana’s Veterans have multiple options to get their flu shot this year:
1. Montana Veterans who are enrolled with VA healthcare will be offered flu shots at their Montana VA primary care appointments.
2. No-cost flu vaccines are available to enrolled Veterans at pharmacies and urgent care locations across Montana. To find a close-to-home and in-network community care provider, search by entering in your home zip code in the drop-down menu of the VA locator (https://www.va.gov/find-locations).
3. Walk-in flu vaccines are available at all Primary Care Clinics during regular hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (excluding federal holidays).
4. All local VA clinics are holding walk-in or drive-up flu clinics on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025. No appointments are required.
