The Washington State Department of Health’s Team 6 Mobile Vaccination Unit will host a one-day COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Whitman County April 22. 

The outdoor event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. April 22 at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, located at 2390 NE Hopkins Court, according to a Facebook announcement by Pullman Family Medicine.  

The vaccination unit will bring 500 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals 18 years or older are eligible to receive the vaccine, said Corrin McMichael, Whitman County Public Health epidemiologist and vaccine coordinator. 

McMichael said she encourages people to read the Moderna vaccine Emergency Use Authorization fact sheet before registering for a vaccination appointment. Copies of the EUA and vaccine registration forms will be available at the event.

Individuals can book their vaccination appointment on the event’s scheduling site, she said. Those planning to receive the vaccine must bring their ID. 

Community members can receive a booster dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine May 20, McMichael said.
