The Central Areas Senior Center (CASC), in partnership with the Seattle Fire Department, First A.M.E. Church and Mt. Zion Baptist Church, will host a Moderna Vaccine Pop-up Clinic on Tues., Apr. 13 from 9:30 am to 3:30 p.m.
According to Dian Ferguson, director of CASC, they have a number of appointment slots still available. The clinic is by appointment only, and priority is given to older adults, African Americans and BIPOC. However, anyone 18 and up would be eligible for the vaccines.
The clinic will be using the Moderna vaccine. Only the Pfizer vaccine is allowed and approved for usage with those 16 and 17, so people in this age group will not be allowed to get vaccinated at this pop-up clinic.
According to public health officials, 85% of elders 65 and over in King County have been vaccinated. However, of this population, they say only about 40% of the African American elders in the Central District and King County have been vaccinated.
To schedule an appointment, please call us at (206) 726-4926.
