Public Health and Social Services will continue to provide mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics throughout Thurston County - in partnership with local health care providers, schools, churches, non-profit organizations, and other businesses - through December 2022.
Public Health and Social Services will announce upcoming COVID-19 vaccine clinics on their website, and through social media channels. If your organization is interesting in hosting a mobile vaccine clinic, please contact PHSS at (360) 867-2610.
Many pharmacies and health care facilities in Thurston County will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccines at no cost. Anyone looking for a COVID-19 vaccine near them can contact their health care provider or use the Washington State Department of Health Vaccine Locator tool at https://vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov.

In total, PHSS administered more than 31,000 COVID-19 vaccines over the course of nearly 500 clinics at the mall clinic.
