You can sign up for a vaccination appointment right now!

We just looked at our records and realized that it has been a while since we have sent an update! And we have a very important update. Mayor Durkan recently announced that the City of Seattle and its partners will administer more than 52,000 COVID-19 vaccinations this week! This is the largest single-week vaccine allocation we have received to-date.

The City of Seattle is currently registering anyone 16 or older who lives or works in King County for a first dose vaccination appointment this week. If you have not already received your first dose, and would like to be vaccinated at one of the four City-affiliated sites, you can sign up right now.
