STURGIS, S.D. – The VA Black Hills Health Care System second dose vaccine blitz will move from a drive thru delivery to indoors because of predicted extreme weather on Saturday, February 13th.
Veterans will be directed to Building 113 or Lot 3 parking lots. Vaccinations will be given in two areas; Building 113, Room S143 or Specialty Care.
Staff will be available to answer questions and direct Veterans to the vaccination areas.
Because of the frigid temperatures expected, shuttle transportation from the parking lot to the main entrances will be offered to anyone who would like the assistance.
This is an appointment only clinic for second doses of the vaccination.
On Monday, February 15th a first dose Vaccine Blitz will be held at Fort Meade, Rapid City, and Hot Springs. Any Veteran falling into one of the priority groups listed may call 877-339-6837 to schedule an appointment.
