COVID-19 VACCINE INFORMATION

COVID-19 vaccine providers are now able to offer omicron variant-targeted bivalent booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines to children ages 6 months and older. This follows the guidance and recommendations released from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

 

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

We currently have volunteer opportunities for anyone interested in clerical duties: screening, checking in, or registering community patrons for our vaccine clinics. We also have openings for clinical staff for vaccinations or observations for patrons of the community vaccine clinics.

 WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

ALL WASHINGTON RESIDENTS 6 MONTHS OLD AND OVER ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACCINE.
