With over 75 percent of Seattle residents 16 and older starting the vaccination process against Covid-19, the City of Seattle has embarked on reaching people who have not yet had access to this life-saving vaccine. Seattle is bringing the vaccine directly to communities and breaking down as many barriers as possible to getting vaccinated.
As part of this effort, the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) is hosting a pop-up vaccination clinic this Saturday, May 22, from 3-7 p.m., in Greenwood. The pop-up is a partnership between the City, the Phinney Neighborhood Association, Bluebird Ice Cream and Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery.
What’s better than getting a free life-saving vaccine? Getting a free life-saving vaccine and a free beer or ice cream, of course! Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery will purchase the first pint for all those vaccinated at the pop-up clinic, and Bluebird Ice Cream is offering free ice cream to the first 75 patients vaccinated at the clinic.
The SFD pop-up is offering the Johnson and Johnson, Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, and will vaccinate anyone 12 and older (Pfizer available for younger patients). SFD will also administer second doses if the patient provides proof of their first dose. Appointments are not needed and walk-ups are welcome.
Details on the pop-up are as follows:
- Location: Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery, 8570 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103
- Date and time: Saturday, May 22, 3-7 p.m.
- Vaccines: All three vaccines; second doses are available with proof of first vaccination
Also, if you have a Seattle student in your life, SFD is offering 52 in-school vaccination clinics over the next two weeks, which will reach nearly 17,000 students. Interested students and families can find more information at education.seattle.gov/studentvaccine.
Vaccination is key to getting Seattle further down our road to recovery. We encourage you to head over to Greenwood this weekend to get vaccinated and support local small businesses.
