Starting Nov. 1, VA Loma Linda Healthcare System is offering the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for Veterans, spouses, caregivers, CHAMP VA recipients and employees.

Moderna and J&J booster offered at VA Loma Linda Main Hospital

Moderna booster only offered at VA Ambulatory Care Center (ACC)

Appointments are recommended, walk-ins are available. Call 909-825-7084 ext. 6212 to schedule an appointment now.

This decision follows the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendation for a booster dose of the Moderna or J&J vaccine.

CDC advises that it is safe for people to get both the COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine at the same time. Veterans receiving care at VA who wish to get a booster shot can get both shots together during the same visit.
