Hundreds Of Eastside Vaccine Appointments Available For May

SAMMAMISH, WA — The mass vaccination site at Lake Sammamish State Park has hundreds of openings for Eastside residents to get their COVID-19 immunizations in May. The Eastside's drive-thru vaccination site is run in partnership between the cities of Issaquah and Sammamish, Eastside Fire & Rescue and the Snoqualmie Tribe, who supplies the doses of Moderna vaccine. Appointments are available to all Eastside residents 18 and older.

The site opens new appointments every Monday, typically around noon, and Monday's drop included well over a thousand slots for next month. By Tuesday morning, more than 1,500 appointments were still available. Booking an appointment is simple, and can be done using the Snoqualmie Tribe Vaccine Partnership's online tool.

• Find an appointment for May using this online screening tool.
• Learn more about the site and find answers to questions on the Snoqualmie Tribe Vaccine Partnership website.
• Organizers are also looking for volunteer greeters, screeners, observers and timekeepers, who should also have a chance to get vaccinated themselves.

Right now, the drive-thru clinic operates Monday through Friday. Organizers hope to extend appointments to Saturdays sometime next month.

If no appointments are available, or at a preferred date and time, residents can check for new openings every Monday. There are also several options around the region, including local pharmacies and Seattle's four city-run sites, which have thousands of appointments available.
