Residents eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccinations can call the Kent Senior Center to get on a waiting list for shots at the city facility.
The Senior Center joined forces with the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority to help vaccinate individuals. At the end of each day, extra vaccines may be available that can be administered to those on the center’s waiting list, according to the city of Kent. The partnership will allow individuals to get both doses of the vaccine.
For more information or to get on the list, call the Senior Center at 253-856-5150.
