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 West Point Influenza Vaccination community events are scheduled for:

  • From 3-7 p.m. Oct. 30 at the West Point Elementary School (705 Barry Road, West Point) for ages 1 to 11 years. **
     
  • From noon-6 p.m. Nov. 1-2 at the West Point 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.
