The COVID-19 vaccination site at the SEC is available only for active-duty service members. If you are not an active-duty service member, please do not visit the SEC for a vaccine. Vaccinations for active-duty service members are coordinated between unit operations teams.

The Mountain Post Soldier Center (MPSC) is offering Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to active-duty service members in processing at Fort Carson, civilian personnel, contractors, and immunocompromised TRICARE beneficiaries enrolled at EACH. Active-duty service members can also receive a second Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at this location. Walk-ins are available from 8 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. at the MPSC located at 6351 Wetzel Avenue, building 1525.

TRICARE beneficiaries who are not enrolled to EACH are encouraged to receive a COVID-19 vaccine from their primary care team, a TRICARE-network pharmacy location, and a local or Colorado health department COVID-19 vaccination site.
