Registration Full For University Place Vaccine Clinic

PIERCE COUNTY, WA — The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department's next pop-up vaccine clinic will be in University Place early next week.

Update: slots for the clinic have filled.

Thursday the health department announced they'd be hosting a vaccine clinic on Tuesday, March 16. Unlike the other upcoming clinic in Graham, this clinic will not be offering the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Instead, TPCHD says it will be using the Moderna vaccine, which requires a second dose a few weeks apart.

Registration for the clinic will open at 10 a.m. Friday. When it does, a link to apply will be posted on the health department's website at http://tpchd.org/vaxtothefuture.

Anyone who wants a shot at this clinic will need to act quickly: the last few clinics have filled up in just minutes.

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

That includes:

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