Original post:

Demand for COVID-19 boosters and children’s vaccines has been outstanding in King County! That’s great news, but it also means it’s been harder for some people in King County to find appointments.

To help increase capacity, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is sending its Mobile Community Vaccination Center to Federal Way, Kent and Auburn in December and January. FEMA staff have been travelling across the country to set up temporary community vaccination centers, and now they’re here! This community vaccination clinic has the capacity to vaccinate 300-500 people per day.

Types of vaccinations provided

These clinics will provide COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for adults and kids. All vaccine types (Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J) are available.

Everyone (including kids!) receiving a first or second vaccination dose at one of these clinics will get a $50 gift card. Bring the whole family!
