COVID-19 vaccines: what you need to know
This page was updated on April 15.
The Fred Hutch/SCCA COVID-19 Vaccination Program is scheduling first dose appointments for eligible individuals. As more people are now eligible for the vaccine, we expect high demand and increased wait times for appointments. See "How do I schedule my vaccine?" below for details on the scheduling process. Thank you for your patience.
Who is currently eligible to receive the vaccine?
All people 16 years or older are eligible for the vaccine. Please note that the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is the only vaccine FDA approved for people 16 years and older. The Moderna vaccine is FDA approved for people 18 years and older.
How do I schedule my vaccine?
The Fred Hutch/SCCA COVID-19 Vaccination Program is currently scheduling first dose appointments for eligible individuals as supply allows. We continue to give second doses to individuals who got their first dose at our site.
You can schedule your first dose of the vaccine as follows:
SCCA patients
- All SCCA patients with valid email addresses on file should have received an email with information on how to schedule their vaccine at the Fred Hutch/SCCA COVID-19 Vaccination Program.
- If you did not receive an email and are being scheduled for in person or telehealth care at SCCA, you have two options:
- When you schedule your next appointment for care, tell your team coordinator/scheduler that you would like to schedule a vaccine appointment. They can offer you a vaccine based on available supply. If you would like to schedule your eligible caregiver at that time, you can.
- Eligible SCCA patients without an upcoming appointment or valid email address on file can visit DOH's online Washington State vaccine locator to check for appointments throughout the state. Scheduling for the Fred Hutch/SCCA COVID-19 Vaccine Program can be accessed through the vaccine locator.
- When you schedule your next appointment for care, tell your team coordinator/scheduler that you would like to schedule a vaccine appointment. They can offer you a vaccine based on available supply. If you would like to schedule your eligible caregiver at that time, you can.
