Update on COVID-19 vaccination in Kitsap; Phase 1a guidance and healthcare webinar posted
The first phase of COVID-19 vaccination is underway in Kitsap County. Healthcare providers have begun to administer vaccine to priority groups.
Because supplies are limited, vaccine is not yet available to the general public. Vaccination is currently prioritized for high-risk workers in healthcare settings, emergency first responders, and long-term care facility staff and residents. Learn more about Phase 1a of vaccination.
Kitsap Public Health is urgently asking local healthcare providers to enroll with the state to receive and administer vaccine in accordance with the state COVID-19 Vaccination Plan.
