Now we are seeing a sharp rise in infections. Vaccination rates for those 75 and older have lagged much of the county as a result. Lack of access to a low-barrier vaccination site in the north end has been a hardship on our seniors, and those without access to transportation. “I am grateful that the City of Seattle is lowering barriers to north end residents needing a convenient and accessible vaccination site.
North Seattle College has been a consistent partner with the City of Seattle, and I’m pleased to see them once again be a resource for the North End,” said Councilmember Debora Juarez ( District 5, North Seattle ). Especially for our seniors and those with limited mobility – the accessibility of North Seattle College means folks can get to their vaccination appointments quickly and safely. “The North End has anxiously awaited a large-scale vaccination site. “We all have a role to play in defeating this pandemic especially as cases are rising in our region and state. Please, get vaccinated as soon as you’re eligible. If you’re not yet eligible, you can help someone in your community get an appointment through our notification list. I know everyone is fatigued, and we all want to pandemic to be over. But now is not the time to let up on our efforts.” This site is all the more important as cases surge across our city, but particularly in the North End,” said Mayor Durkan. The City is proud to partner with Seattle Visiting Nurse Association and Seattle Colleges to open a new vaccination hub in North Seattle. “This pandemic is a once-in-a-generation challenge and vaccinating our communities is not something that any individual or organization can face alone. This week, the City of Seattle and clinical partners will administer approximately 18,700 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
LUMEN FIELD VACCINATION SITE REGISTRATION
SVNA provides the doses and serves as the clinical partner, Seattle Colleges provides the location, and the City of Seattle is supporting with non-clinical volunteer staffing, language access, logistics, and registration services. The site at North Seattle College will be the fourth City-affiliated fixed vaccination site, in addition to the Lumen Field Event Center, Rainier Beach, and West Seattle.
Durkan today announced that the City is helping to support a new Community Vaccination Hub operated by Seattle Visiting Nurse Association (SVNA) at North Seattle College.
