UPDATE: All spots filled for Tacoma Dome COVID vaccine events this week
UPDATE: All spots were filled as of 9:16 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10.
More pop-up vaccine events are coming to Pierce County.
The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department announced Tuesday that two new drive-thru clinics would happen this week in Tacoma.
With wintry weather expected this week, the health department said the first event would be held later today (Feb. 10) 2 to 7 p.m. and another for tomorrow (Feb. 11), 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., both at the Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D St.
The goal is to vaccinate 2,000 total with the two events. Participants are instructed to arrive no more than 10 minutes before their appointment.
You must be in Phase 1A and 1B Tier 1, and the health department prefers that you live or work in Pierce County to register.
“We expect to announce more pop-up vaccine events soon. Make sure you’re following us on social media and keep an eye on our website for more opportunities,” the department noted after registration closed Wednesday.
“We know some people don’t have access to the internet or transportation. We’re working on plans to reach them soon. In the meantime, please reach out to your eligible loved ones and help them if you can,” the department said Tuesday.
You can also sign up for notifications at tpchd.org/notify. Registration links will not be sent to those who sign up for notifications.
