COVID-19 vaccine eligibility expands to everyone 16 and older in Washington state

Starting today, everyone 16 and older who wants a COVID-19 vaccine can receive one in Washington. The eligibility expansion marks the four-month anniversary of vaccine rollout in our state. Since mid-December, nearly 4.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered across the state. More than 2.67 million people have received at least one dose and more than 23% of Washingtonians are fully vaccinated. 

The Washington State Department of Health’s (DOH) Vaccine Locator tool is a great resource to help find a vaccine appointment in your area. If you need help making an appointment, please call the COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-525-0127, then press #. Language assistance is available.

Currently Pfizer-BioNTech is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for people 16 years of age and older. Moderna is authorized for people 18 and older. To help simplify registration for those age 16 and 17, DOH added vaccine type to Vaccine Locator and is in the process of retrieving information from providers to show on the website and app. Additionally, this age group may need consent from a parent or guardian to get the vaccine, unless they are legally emancipated. 

A path forward: COVID-19 Q&A event for older adults

Older adults of Washington can join in a live question-and-answer event about COVID-19 at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 21, hosted by AARP. Reserve a spot here and receive a reminder phone call at the beginning of the event or call 1-855-962-1240 during the event to listen.

Bring your questions about next steps as we move forward and emerge from the pandemic, and get answers from Governor Jay Inslee and Washington State Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah.
