City of Seattle waives appointments for three vaccine sites
SEATTLE - Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Wednesday that the city of Seattle will transition testing and vaccination efforts to partners on July 31.
UW Medicine will carry out efforts by providing free testing at Aurora and SODO hubs with continued access to curative kiosks. Vaccination is also available at pharmacies and health care providers including the Downtown Public Health Center. UW Medicine, which has provided laboratory testing capacity for the region since the beginning of the pandemic, will be partnering with the City of Seattle to take over responsibility for their test collection sites to ensure testing remains broadly available in our community, said Dr. Geoffrey Baird, Professor and Chair, Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at UW Medicine.
