WALLA WALLA – Walla Walla County Department of Community Health and its partners are opening a mass vaccination clinic on Saturday, March 20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be an estimated 2,300 first-dose appointments available for eligible residents. Phase 1 B2 residents are included in that for the first time.
The B2 phase includes high-risk critical workers in certain congregate settings. Those include agriculture; food processing; grocery stores; corrections; prisons, jails or detention centers; public transit; remaining first responders; and people 16 or older who are either pregnant or have a disability that puts them at a higher risk.
People can begin registering for appointments at the Saturday clinic today (Monday) at 8 a.m. Those who are interested in receiving inoculations should complete the Washington State Department of Health’s phase finder tool and print out or take a screenshot of their eligibility verification to provide at their scheduled appointments.
After completing the tool, eligible residents should go to https://www.covidwwc.com and click the button for upcoming vaccine clinics. Scroll to the “Schedule an Appointment” section and click on it. Select an appointment time and complete the registration process. No walk-in appointments will be accepted. Residents without internet or computer access can call the DCH help line at 509-524-2647. Leave name, date of birth, telephone number, and a message stating that they do not have access to the internet or to a computer.
