Dear Trudy Technology, 

This question may be outside of your purview, but I’ve found your advice very helpful in the past, so I figured, why not ask? I want to get vaccinated for COVID-19, but I am too embarrassed to ask anyone I know for help finding somewhere to get one. This is because, up until recently, I have been pretty vocal about my distrust for it. I’ve since learned more and changed my mind, but I don’t know where to start. Are there any online resources you can recommend? 

Sincerely, 

Please Help in Penn Cove 

Dear Please, 

Congratulations on taking the time to learn more! I can absolutely help! 

In Island County, COVID vaccines are available at no charge at Island Drug, Saar’s, QFC, Walmart, Rite Aid, Safeway, Haggen, Walgreens and the Camano Island Health Clinic. To find an available appointment go to:  https://vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov/ and enter your zip code.  

Island County also has a mobile vaccine unit, open to the public with no appointment necessary.  Translation services are available and no ID is required.  Dates and locations of these clinics can be found at www.islandcountywa.gov/Health/PAges/COVID-19.aspx  

The mobile vaccine team from the Island County Health Department will come to homes for those unable to get to a vaccination site.  To schedule an appointment if you are homebound contact Sharon Branch at 360-678-2301 or email s.branch@islandcountywa.gov  

Island Senior Resources also provides updated information about vaccine access in Island County on its website www.senior-resources.org or by calling 360-321-1600 or 360-678-3373. 

Hope this helps!
