Public Health’s Kent COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will close after Saturday, 3/30/24 due to a decrease in federal funding. Snoqualmie Valley Hospital will also close its COVID-19 drive-through vaccination site on March 30. Now is a good time to get up to date on COVID-19 vaccination while these sites are open!
It’s especially important for older adults to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine to protect against the strains of COVID people are catching now. As of 2/28/24, the CDC now recommends that people 65 and older get an additional dose of the updated (2023-24) COVID-19 vaccine.
