We DO NOT have extra vaccine doses and will not be able to accommodate walk-ins.
But that message wasn t always there.
When Jenna Anderson-O Neil saw on Facebook that her cousin had been vaccinated against Covid-19 on January 14, she was perplexed.
Anderson-O Neil s cousin is in her mid-twenties, has no underlying health conditions, and doesn t work in a health care setting. She wondered how her cousin could have gotten vaccinated before her 65-year-old mother who has underlying health conditions and, was at that time ineligible.
But still, her cousin had managed to book an evening time appointment online to get the shot at Swedish s Seattle University clinic.

Farrah Azur, a dental hygienist, debated getting the Covid vaccine.
âI was nervous earlier,â she said. âBecause of the news of people fainting.â
But on Thursday morning, she signed up, and that evening was in a line of cars at an old emissions site in Renton, where she would receive the Moderna version of the vaccine. It was a fortuitous coincidence: Emissions testing in Washington state ceased on January 1, 2020; several of the sites were converted to coronavirus testing months later.
Azur said she was swayed by seeing her coworkers at HealthPoint sign up. Thursday was the third night for vaccines here.
