Help Stop the Spread of Respiratory Illness!

POSTED AUGUST 29, 2024

Protect yourself and others from respiratory illness, such as COVID-19, the flu and RSV.

  • Keep your hands clean.
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes. 
  • Get vaccinated.
  • Wear a mask and get tested if you have symptoms.

COVID-19 and flu vaccines should be available at Walter Reed by early October, but you don’t have to wait until then. Search online or call 1-877-363-1303 to find a TRICARE network pharmacy that may be more convenient for you. Learn more on the TRICARE website. 

Free at-home COVID-19 tests will be available at the end of September from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. U.S. households will be eligible to order four free tests.

If you’re having symptoms and not sure what to do, the MHS Nurse Advice Line can help! Call 1-800-TRICARE or chat online anytime (24/7).

Don't forget to keep your family's information up to date in DEERS!
