Following a successful first week at the state’s four mass vaccination sites, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is pleased to announce registration is opening for week two.

Thanks to the hard work of DOH, the Washington National Guard, and local and private sector partners, as of January 29, more than 10,000 people got their COVID-19 vaccine at mass vaccination sites, including:

1.       2,509 in Spokane

2.       3,060 in Ridgefield

3.       1,550 in Wenatchee

4.       3,817 in Kennewick

The goal of mass vaccination sites is to increase access to vaccine across the state, ensure our plans are equitable, and protect those most at risk. These numbers prove we’re moving in the right direction!

To make an appointment for this week, you must first confirm you’re eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine under Phase 1A or 1B-1 using the Phase Finder tool. Phase Finder does not make you an appointment. Once confirmed through Phase Finder, you can make an appointment at one of the mass vaccination sites listed below.
