Who is currently being vaccinated?
There is a phased approach to vaccinating against COVID. At this time, Phase 1a and 1b1 are being vaccinated, which includes:
Phase 1a
- Workers in health care settings
- High-risk first responders
- Residents and staff of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other community-based, congregate living settings where most individuals over 65 years of age are receiving care, supervision, or assistance
Phase 1b1
- All people 65 years or older
- People 50 years or older who live in multigenerational households (2 or more generations)*
*Example: An older adult who cannot live alone and is being cared for by a relative or in-home caregiver, or an older adult who shares the home with a grandchild.
If you are a member of these groups and have not been vaccinated please contact your primary care doctor or email: COVIDVaccine@snohd.org or call 425-339-5278.
We appreciate the strong interest being shown to register for vaccinations. However, due to limited supply coming into Snohomish County, you should understand your preferred location and slot may not be immediately available. We are working as diligently as possible to increase availability but are currently limited by low supplies from state and federal authorities.
If you do not fall within the above categories, you will be eligible in a future phase.

Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers announced the re-opening of the Small Business Relief, Recovery, and Resiliency (R3) Grant Program. This grant program is a key part of the relief and recovery action Snohomish County is taking to help businesses impacted by the pandemic. This grant program is part of the package of COVID-19 responses funded by CARES Act resources. Businesses that previously applied to the R3 program in 2020 but have not yet received an award will automatically be considered in this round and do not need to reapply.
“Our small businesses and their workers have been hurting since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Executive Somers. “Getting more resources directly into the hands of small businesses has been a very high priority for Snohomish County. As we transition into future phases, we want to make sure our businesses are able to open and keep staff employed.”
