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.
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.
While service members are not required to get the vaccine, if you get a flu vaccine from anywhere besides Walter Reed, 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
