FAQ

Can the person accompanying me get vaccinated also? No. Due to limited supply each vaccination is being specifically allocated to high-risk persons only.

How will my vaccine be documented? Your vaccination will be entered into the Washington Immunization Information System (WAIIS) on the day of vaccination. An electronic and certified record of vaccination can be downloaded from WAIIS. You may also bring your own vaccine record if you have one. We can also provide an International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Fever Card) upon request at a nominal charge (1$). Please maintain all vaccination documentation for your records. We recommend photographing any card(s) with your phone.

Where do I park? This simple answer is at the Pacific Place Parking Garage. Please see our Contact Us page for more information.

What side effects can I expect?

Side effects are common but usually mild. Most people have redness, swelling and pain where they got the shot. Tiredness, headache and muscle pain can also occur after vaccination.

Many persons have used acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Alleve) to limit post-vaccination symptoms.

If you have concerning symptoms, please call on clinic at 206-682-3444.
