Influenza (flu) Vaccine

We encourage everyone to get vaccinated annually against influenza. It's critical that everyone who is able receives a flu vaccine. It's essential that active duty service members, active duty family members and other beneficiaries are well-protected from influenza.

Flu vaccinations are free and available on a walk-in basis. Call ahead Mon-Fri, 0800-1600, to ensure availability: 301-295-4511, Option 3.
 
If you're unable to get the flu vaccine here, you can visit any participating network pharmacy or TRICARE-authorized (civilian) provider. Visit the TRICARE website to learn more.
 
Active Duty and Guard/Reserve members are required to get the flu vaccine. When you get a flu vaccine from anywhere besides WRNMMC, follow your Service policy guidance for recording the vaccine in your shot record. You'll need the following information:
  • The date the vaccine was given
  • The vaccine name or code
  • Manufacturer
  • Lot number

COVID-19 Vaccine

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against the potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 illness. FDA-approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines are currently available to all U.S. citizens and residents. Visit the CDC website for more information.

Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine

The COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have been updated to target the most recent strains for the 2023-2024 winter season. Walter Reed offers the updated (2023-2024) Pfizer vaccine.
