Immunizations
Vaccines are available by appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, excluding deployment and pediatric wellness vaccines. We accept walk-ins during normal duty hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Prescriptions are needed for all non-routine vaccinations. Routine vaccinations include:
- Childhood Immunizations
- Vaccines for military movements, including deployment and permanent change of station
- Any due or overdue vaccines
Vaccines required for leisure travel can be provided after consultation with Public Health and your primary care manager, followed by booking an immunization appointment if travel vaccines are needed. Tuberculosis (PPD) tests cannot be placed on Thursdays, or any Friday before a family day on Monday; please ensure you're able to return 48 to 72 hours after testing to have it read. Shot records for any vaccinations given by a non-military clinic must be provided to ensure proper medical care can be given. Book appointments by calling the appointment line.
