Vaccine clinics Tuesday-Saturday at Providence Southgate

WALLA WALLA— Walla Walla County Department of Community Health (DCH) and healthcare partners will hold vaccine clinics Tuesday through Saturday for the next two weeks, beginning Tuesday, September 21. All clinics will be held at the Providence Southgate campus and run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additionally, each vaccine recipient will be given the opportunity to enter the Walla Walla Vaccine Lottery sponsored by the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce and several local businesses.

All clinics will offer interested residents both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Janssen, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine. There will be a mix of first- and second-dose appointments, along with some third-dose appointments for eligible immunocompromised individuals. Walk-in appointments are welcome for those who wish to register on-site.

Anyone arriving at the Southgate campus, for a vaccine, should use the main entrance of the building and not 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 and must have written parental consent or bring a parent or guardian with them to their vaccine appointment.

Everyone interested in scheduling an appointment should complete the following steps:

• Step 1: Go to https://www.covidwwc.com/clinics.

• Step 2: Scroll through the list of first-dose clinics and click the “Schedule an Appointment,” button after confirming eligibility under the selected clinic.

• Step 3: Select an appointment time and complete the registration process.
