Where to get vaccinated in King County

• Your child's healthcare provider: Make an appointment with your child’s provider. You can use this opportunity to talk about any other health concerns, get a general wellness check, or complete a sports physical. Some healthcare providers offer vaccination-only visits if you’re pressed for time or have no other healthcare needs. 
• Find a CVP provider near you: In Washington state, all children ages 0 to 18 can receive all routinely recommended vaccines at no cost from a healthcare provider that participates in the Childhood Vaccine Program (CVP). You may be charged an administration fee (a charge for delivering the vaccine), but you don’t have to pay if you can’t afford it. There are about 300 CVP providers in King County, and most require that a child enrolls as a patient to get services.
• School Based Health Centers (SBHCs): If your child lives in a district with an SBHC, they can access vaccinations and other healthcare services during operating hours. Call ahead to find out about the best time and way to come to the clinic.
• Pharmacies: Most pharmacies do not vaccinate very young children. Call or visit your pharmacy’s website to check age restrictions. Most pharmacies accept insurance or charge an out-of-pocket fee. Flu shots usually cost $30 to $50 out of pocket, and the cost for other vaccines varies. Check with your local pharmacy to make sure they can vaccinate your child and to ask about any costs.
• Mobile clinics: For a list of no-cost vaccine clinics and to see if your family is eligible, look at the calendar at the bottom of this page.

• Check with your healthcare provider or local pharmacy. Most insurance plans cover the flu, COVID, and RSV vaccines, including Medicaid (Apple Health) and Medicare Part D. Check with your insurance provider for coverage details. If you don’t have insurance, a flu shot usually costs $30 to $50 for the regular dose vaccine. Flu shots for seniors usually cost $60 to $80.
• Find vaccinations for uninsured adults, ages 19+:
  In Washington state, some providers offer a limited supply of vaccines at no cost to uninsured adults through the Adult Vaccine Program (AVP). Some AVP providers offer walk-in vaccinations, like Othello Station Pharmacy and Sea Mar Community Health Centers. Other providers may require that you register as a patient and make an appointment before getting vaccinated.

Different locations have different requirements. You may need to bring these items:

• Identification with date of birth. This can be a state, tribe, or federal-issued ID. A billing or bank statement with your name and address can usually be used instead.
• Health insurance card. Let your provider know if you do not have insurance.
• Wear short sleeves or loose-fitting sleeves that are easy to roll up so that you can get vaccinated in your upper arm.
• Authorized adult consent: if you are younger than age 18, you may need consent from an authorized adult to get vaccinated. You can consent for yourself if you are emancipated, married to an adult, or the vaccine site determines you are a mature minor. Not all vaccine sites are able to make mature minor decisions. If an authorized adult does not plan to attend the vaccine appointment with you, check with your vaccine provider about requirements for showing proof of authorized adult consent or legal emancipation.
