Registration Full For 2 Tacoma Vaccine Clinics

TACOMA, WA - The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department will host two more pop-up vaccination clinics this week.

Update: as of 9:20 a.m. registration for both events is full.

The health department confirms that both clinics will take place in Tacoma shortly, but other details remain scarce. The health department says that's partially because of the incoming weather storm, which may dump more than four inches of snow on Pierce County.

As with other TPCHD vaccination clinics, to qualify for a shot you must work or live in Pierce County. Applicants must also be in Phases 1A or 1B1 of the state's vaccination plan. That includes the following:

• Health care workers.
• Medical first responders.
• Residents and staff of long-term care facilities.
• Anyone 65 and older.
• Residents 50 or older and who live in a multigenerational household

Registration for the event opens at 9 a.m. Wednesday. When it opens, a link to apply will be posted on the health department's website at http://tpchd.org/vaxtothefuture.

In the past, slots for clinics have generally filled within a half-hour of registration opening, so for the best chance to secure a slot make sure you're checking for the link right at 9 a.m. on the dot.

You can also register to receive email alerts about new clinics by visiting TPCHD's website. Just check the box marked "COVID-19 community vaccination events" under the News header.
