Walla Walla County announces changes to COVID-19 vaccine clinics

WALLA WALLA—Due to reduced demand, Walla Walla County Department of Community Health (DCH) and local health care partners will decrease the number of vaccine clinics offered at the Providence Southgate campus.

On Family Day, anyone five years and older will be able to get a vaccine.

All vaccine clinics will run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Everyone interested in scheduling an appointment at Providence Southgate should visit the Walla Walla County COVID website for the most up-to-date links and schedule.

The COVID testing site at Providence Southgate will not change its hours of operation. The site will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Anyone needing a COVID test can find testing appointments and locations at https://www.covidwwc.com/testing.
