Looking for flu or COVID vaccination? Clinic this Saturday at Southwest Library

| Health | West Seattle libraries | West Seattle news

This Saturday at Southwest Library, free flu and COVID shots will be available – here’s the announcement:

Coming up on Saturday, October 21 from 2:00 – 5:30 pm, Seattle/King County Public Health and the Othello Station Pharmacy will provide free COVID and flu vaccines at the Southwest Library. No appointments needed, just walk on in! All vaccines are free for all; those without insurance are most welcome. Due to changes to vaccine funding, those with insurance are asked to bring their insurance information to the clinic (the shots will be free!).

The clinic includes boosters, according to the official flyer. The library is at 35th/Henderson.

Got my covid and flu shot a couple days ago at Jefferson Square QFC. Although I’d made an appointment the couple just behind me were walk in’s and were getting shots. Pharmacist said walk ins were welcome and depending on how busy they are, and scheduled shots wait could be up to 90 minutes or in the case of the couple behind me 5 minutes.

Shots for everyone October 19, 2023 (5:59 pm)

I didn’t see any info about age groups. Does anyone know if they are doing kids? Kids under 5?

The info is a bit confusing as the library website says COVID vaccines for 6 months and older, but the king county website says 3 years and up. Might be worth a call to confirm!https://www.spl.org/event-calendar?trumbaEmbed=eventid%3D170500984%26seotitle%3DCOVID-19-Community-Vaccination-Clinic-Southwest-Branch%26view%3Devent%26-childview%3D https://kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/depts/health/covid-19/vaccine/schedule.aspx

  I’ll ask my contact who sent the announcement.

Not sure about the library event, but SeaMar has walk-in flu shots for kids under 5 at the White Center clinic. Opens at 8, and I think they’re doing walk-in flu shots daily.

Anyone having any luck finding a place in WestSeattle giving the Novavax?

I’m wondering the same thing. Trying to get that one checked off my bingo card :-)

Heads up, it looks like there are very limited amounts of the 12+ Covid booster for folks w/o insurance but none will be available for anyone w/ insurance. Plenty of flu shots.

Sorry, comment time is over.
