ATTENTION
Per CDC guidelines, please continue to wear masks and practice social distancing while in a VA medical center or other healthcare settings.
Do I need to wear a mask in a VA health facility (including Community Based Outpatient Clinics) or Vet Center?
Yes. To help us protect you, other patients, and our staff, we require everyone who enters our hospitals, clinics, and Vet Centers to wear a mask that covers their mouth and nose.
Here’s what to know:
- If you’re fully vaccinated, we ask that you still wear a mask when you enter the facility. Our staff will tell you when it’s safe to remove your mask.
- Please bring your own mask with you if you can. If you can’t, we’ll provide you with one.
- If you wear an oxygen mask, you don’t need to wear a separate mask. We’ll work with you to keep you and others safe. We may ask you to wait in a designated space until your appointment time.
- If you have concerns about wearing a mask, talk with your provider. They’ll work with you to get you the care you need and follow safety guidelines.
