Flu Shots for Veterans

In an effort to improve vaccination rates for the flu, Walgreens has teamed up with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to increase access to this important part of staying well for your members covered by VA Medical. Members need to provide their card and SSN. The dates of the program are Aug 24, 2016 to Mar 31, 2017.
Attached is a link to a  video that shares information about the VA's national immunization initiative to provide Veterans more options, easier access, and seamless records when it comes to getting their seasonal flu shot.

Stopgap Spending Measure Passed by Congress

Congress passed and the President signed, a stopgap spending measure (H.R. 5325) that avoids a government shutdown when the fiscal year ends today.  This measure provides full year of funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction projects, and extending current funding levels for the rest of the government through December 9.  Lawmakers return for legislative business after the election, with the House gaveling in on Monday, November 14, and the Senate the following day.

The spending measure also includes provisions that allow VA to provide fertility services or cover the cost of adoption for veterans with service-connected infertility issues. "We are exceptionally pleased that Congress has passed this legislation granting veterans struggling with service-connected infertility the reproductive medical coverage they require to help them restore their lives and build their families--it is simply the right thing to do," said Garry Augustine, DAV Executive Director, Washington Headquarters.
