Vaccine clinics every Wednesday in Walla Walla County

WALLA WALLA— Walla Walla County Department of Community Health (DCH) and healthcare partners will open vaccine clinics every Wednesday throughout July (July 14, 21, 28). All three clinics will be held at the Providence Southgate campus. On July 14 and 21 will run from 3-5 p.m., and the clinic on July 28 will offer extended hours and will run from 3-7 p.m. Clinics held after July will be announced later as DCH evaluates the vaccine interest level in the county.

All clinics will offer both the Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines. There will be a mix of first- and second-dose appointments, along with walk-in appointments available from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Anyone arriving at the clinic for a vaccine should use the main entrance of the building and are asked not to use the urgent care entrance of the facility.

Anyone under the age of 12 years old is not eligible to receive a COVID vaccine. Those interested in receiving the J&J vaccine must be 18-years old or over. People younger than 18-years old will only be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine. They must have written parental consent or bring a parent or guardian with them to their vaccine appointment.
