CORONAVIRUS: West Seattle vaccination clinic welcoming walk-ins today; free masks start appearing

| Coronavirus | West Seattle news

Two pandemic notes today:

VACCINATION CLINIC: A health-care professional volunteering at the city-run vaccination clinic at Neighborhood House High Point (6400 Sylvan Way SW) today texted to say there’s lots of capacity for walk-ins today. Kids, teens, adults; first or second shots or boosters – just show up before 5 pm.

FREE MASKS: The federally funded free N95 masks are starting to show up in local pharmacies. We’ve received reader reports today of availability at Bartell Drugs stores in Jefferson Square and Admiral. Let us know if you’ve seen them elsewhere!

last night I asked at 5 pharmacies; Safeway in Admiral, RiteAid, QFC, and Bartell in Admiral & Jefferson Sq; masks available only at Bartell

booster shots! January 29, 2022 (3:43 pm)

We popped up to the neighborhood house as walk-ins and there was zero wait for our booster! It was so fast our dog barely even noticed we had left the house.

Mask update January 31, 2022 (6:10 pm)

Both Bartell’s locations are out of the free masks. The person I spoke with said they didn’t expect to get more but other nearby pharmacies should be getting them soon.

We’ve already published the free-tests announcement
https://westseattleblog.com/2022/01/coronavirus-state-offering-free-test-kits-again/
unfortunately none of the libraries in the other announcement are anywhere near here (they’re all KCLS and our nearest county branch, White Center, is not on the list).

Sorry, comment time is over.
