Kitsap Public Health COVID-19 vaccine update
Kitsap Public Health District added fresh data to its COVID-19 vaccine dashboard this week as it continues to track vaccination rollout in our county. As of Feb. 1, 10% of the population, or 27,160 residents, have received the first dose of the vaccine. Over 5,700 residents have been fully vaccinated with two doses.
A total of 2,510 doses were administered (100% of the vaccine received) at a community COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the former St. Michael (Harrison) hospital in East Bremerton operated by Kitsap Public Health and the Kitsap Emergency Operations Center.
Kitsap Public Health was notified Friday that the state will not allocate requested vaccine for the week of Feb. 7-13. Additional clinic openings will be announced as soon as vaccine becomes available. See the news release for more details.
Several Kitsap healthcare providers have indicated they are not receiving allocations for next week. Some providers are receiving vaccine supplies reserved for second doses (two doses of COVID-19 vaccine are required for full immunity). Expect appointments for first doses of COVID-19 vaccine to remain limited in the near future. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
