UPDATE ON COVID-19 VACCINE

/in /by

The COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most important tools to fight the pandemic and bring some normalcy back to our lives. Our providers and staff have received the vaccine to help keep our patients safe and allow us to stay healthy to care for you. We are here to answer any questions you may have about the vaccine, and how you can protect your family in the months to come.

Vaccines for COVID-19 are now becoming more widely available as part of a phased approach in Washington. Getting immunized can protect you and your loved ones from becoming ill with the coronavirus.

Currently, Washington is in Phase 1b Tier 2. In addition to people included in the previous phases, Phase 1b Tier 2 includes people age 16 and up who are pregnant or who have a disability that puts them at high risk for severe COVID-19.

We do not currently have COVID vaccine in our office but below are resources for families and patients to help schedule your vaccine if you qualify.
