Keller Army Community Hospital encourages our beneficiaries to get the influenza vaccine during the 2023 Influenza Vaccine Drive.

The flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of illness, hospitalization and death from an influenza infection.

The ˮAV˵ Influenza Vaccination community events are scheduled for:

  • From 3-7 p.m. Oct. 30 at the ˮAV˵ Elementary School (705 Barry Road, ˮAV˵) for ages 1 to 11 years. **
     
  • From noon-6 p.m. Nov. 1-2 at the ˮAV˵ Youth Center (Building 500, Washington Road) for ALL ages (one year and older).

** Guardians/Parents must accompany the child during the vaccine administration which will take a minimum of 15-to-20 minutes.

These events are available for all TRICARE enrolled beneficiaries, civilian employees and community members.

It is highly encouraged you attend the designated events. Individual appointments for flu vaccine, at Keller, will not be available until later in November when the designated events are completed. 

Thank you for your patience and your diligence to prevent the spread of influenza.
