public health seattle and king county logoPublic Health’s Kent and Auburn community vaccination sites have expanded eligibility to include adults age 65 and older. The two sites will begin providing covid-19 vaccination to people 65 and older starting Monday, March 1. The sites will continue to provide covid-19 vaccinations for adults who require home care, and their caregivers.

For this week starting March, 1, Public Health is able to open additional appointment slots as a result of the amount of COVID-19 vaccine received from Washington State Department of Health. To check eligibility and sign-up for a slot this week, visit Getting vaccinated in King County.  We anticipate the slots will fill up fairly quickly. Public Health will continue to share updates on our COVID vaccine webpage as more vaccine becomes available.

The Kent and Auburn COVID-19 vaccine sites are open Monday through Saturday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Vaccinations are by appointment only.
Residents can register for an appointment at Public Health’s vaccine website, Getting vaccinated in King County.

Currently, both COVID-19 vaccine supply and appointments are limited. Residents may experience delays, or it may take time before appointments are available due to anticipated high demand. This will get easier as the vaccine supply increases.
