Kent, Auburn vaccination sites in King County to offer walk-in appointments, expanded hours
Two vaccination sites in King County are now offering up to 1,000 walk-in appointments per day for adults who haven't yet been vaccinated.
People 16 and older can now walk up to the sites -- at the Kent accesso ShoWare and the Auburn Outlet Mall -- without reserving an appointment in advance and get the shot. The appointments are not restricted to people in certain zip codes. The sites are open for walk-ins Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The clinics are also working to expand their hours to offer more appointments on the weekends and later at night. The move is an effort to reach those who work during the day or may not be able to make an appointment during traditional business hours for other reasons.
“With the increased supply of vaccine, we can now offer vaccine slots with no appointment needed. We know this can make a big difference for people with less flexible work schedules, or for those that may want to come get their vaccine with friends or family,” said Dr. Mark Del Beccaro, assistant deputy chief of COVID Testing and Immunizations at Public Health – Seattle & King County. “With the increased supply, we are now able to open up our Auburn and Kent vaccination sites for anyone in King County.”
