CANCELING YOUR APPOINTMENT
IMPORTANT: If you book an appointment at our clinic and need to cancel, be sure to cancel your appointment through our Timetap registration system as soon as possible. This allows us to schedule someone else to fill your spot and helps us make the most efficient use of volunteer time and vaccine supplies.
SUPPORTING EQUITY
As COVID-19 vaccination eligibility expands to include more groups, Kitsap Public Health remains committed to ensuring access for people who already qualify for vaccination under earlier phases, including seniors 65 or older.
We are reserving a portion of our appointments each week for people who do not have internet, are not able to use an online registration form, or have other barriers to getting vaccinated. Our team will fill these appointments by calling people who have reached out to us for assistance or have been referred to us by community organizations.
GETTING HELP BY PHONE
People who do not have computer access or are not able to use an online registration system can call us at 360-728-2219 (360-728-2218 for Spanish) and leave a message. Our team will reach out as appointments become available at our clinic.

COVID-19 PREVENTION TOOLKIT
More Kitsap County residents are getting vaccinated, but it will take months for the majority of our community to have protection against COVID-19. We need to keep using all the tools we have to slow the spread of the virus:
-
Wear a mask anytime you are around people you don't live with.
-
Keep 6 feet of distance between you and people you don't live with.
-
Wash your hands frequently.
-
Be ready to get vaccinated when you are eligible.
