COVID-19 vaccines not yet locally available
COVID-19 vaccine has begun arriving in Washington State, and some residents across the state are starting to receive the updated vaccine. However, limited vaccine availability from manufacturers and supply-chain constraints are significant during this vaccine rollout. As such, Washington State Department of Health officials report they are working to equitably distribute COVID-19 vaccines throughout the state.
As of October 3, 2023, Arbor Health clinics have not yet received any doses. However, vaccines do appear to be available at large pharmacy chains. Until we receive our vaccine orders, we encourage community members to check the vaccine locator website at https://vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov/ or to reach out to a large pharmacy chain of their choosing such as Walgreens, Safeway, Rite Aid or Walmart.
“We appreciate the community members’ patience,” Arbor Health CEO Robert Mach reported in a prepared statement. “We are committed to sharing updates about vaccine supply and will notify the public when we receive our COVID-19 booster vaccines.”
