Kitsap Public Health receives second dose allocations
Kitsap Public Health has received the 2,400 second doses of Moderna vaccine needed to fulfill all appointments scheduled this week. Last week's COVID-19 vaccine shipments were delayed by severe weather. Vaccine allocations for last week and this week arrived today.

More vaccine doses are on the way. Kitsap Public Health was not allocated any first doses of vaccine for this week and will not open any first dose appointments at this clinic. Other vaccine providers in the community may have first dose appointments available. Find a list of vaccine providers at CovidVaccineWA.org or kcowa.us/vaccine.
Kitsap Public Health will request more than 2,000 first doses of vaccine from the state for next week. New appointments will open as soon as possible.

Over 1.8 million using WA Notify
Washington Exposure Notifications (WA Notify) is an important tool to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Just like wearing a mask, distancing and keeping gatherings small, WA Notify is a simple tool to protect our community.
When you enable WA Notify, your phone exchanges random, anonymous codes with the phones of people you are near who have also enabled WA Notify. The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to exchange these random codes without revealing any information about you.
If another WA Notify user you've been near in the last two weeks later tests positive for COVID-19 and adds their verification code to the app, you’ll get an anonymous notification that you’ve had a possible exposure. This lets you get the care you need quickly and helps prevent you from spreading COVID-19 to the people around you.
Studies show that the more people who use exposure notification technology, the greater
the benefit. Over 1.8 million Washingtonians are using the app as of Feb. 19. For more information, visit WANotify.org.
