It is fall, which means NOW is the time to get your flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone 6 months and older is recommended to get the 2024-2025 flu and COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines offer the best protection against serious complications from these respiratory viruses. The vaccines can be received at the same visit.
Find a vaccine provider near you at: vaccines.gov
Getting the flu and COVID-19 vaccine NOW, before the end of October, helps to make sure you are protected in time to visit extended family and friends for the holidays (protecting you and them) and before cases start to rise in our community.

Thank you to Steve Brewer for his generous $3,000 memorial donation to VAC in honor of his late wife, Eileen. Eileen, who lost her sight at a young age due to diabetes, was a long-time user of our transportation services. Before her passing, she asked for this memorial to be given to VAC, and we are deeply honored by her request. This contribution will go a long way in supporting our programs, helping more individuals like Eileen access the care they need.
