WRNMMC, Bethesda, MD –
Due to decreased demand for both COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s (WRNMMC) COVID-19 Vaccine Site will be permanently closed effective Monday, Feb 13.
As shared in a previous message regarding the COVID-19 Centralized Screening Area (CSA), Army Lt. Col. Jason Blaylock, WRNMMC director for medicine shared, “The closure allows WRNMMC to realign our resources to better serve our patient population.”
Patients will be able to receive COVID-19 vaccines and boosters in the Allergy, Immunology and Immunization clinic on a walk-in basis.

COVID-19 testing is also available to active duty service members during our active duty sick call hours on a walk-in basis, Monday - Friday, 6:30 a.m. - 7:15 a.m., in the Internal Medicine Clinic.
