Kittitas County, WA - 02/22/2021 - Kittitas County is nearing ten thousand COVID-19 vaccines distributed within our county. This week, we anticipate additional booster doses being shipped to our county, which includes one thousand Pfizer booster doses arriving today. The Incident Management Team (IMT) will continue to run community clinics in Cle Elum and Ellensburg this week in order to provide second doses to eligible individuals.
The IMT is prepared to continue providing efficient vaccine distribution. “Our community has been responsive with volunteering and helping others access vaccine appointments,” states Kittitas County Public Health Department Director Tristen Lamb. “As long as we have vaccine supply, we will continue to get those doses out quickly. We will not stockpile or waste doses.” If you are eligible, please sign up on the wait list via SignUpGenius. If you are a Kittitas County resident and received your first shot elsewhere, we also ask that you register via the waiting list for your second dose and note the manufacturer and date of the first dose received. Please reach out to individuals who are eligible to ensure they access vaccine appointments or register on the waitlist. Please reach out to individuals who received their first dose outside of the county to get on the wait list. For COVID-19 vaccine assistance, individuals can call 509-933-8315. To review data regarding COVID-19 vaccine, please visit the Washington State Department of Health’s (DOH) website at www.doh.wa.gov.
