The Central Area Senior Center (CASC) will be hosting its final Booster Shot Vaccination Clinic on Tues., Dec. 7 from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at First African Methodist Episcopal Church (FAME) – 1522 14th Ave. in Seattle. Pharmacists from Safeway/Albertson’s will be on site to administer the booster shots. Moderna, Pfizer and Flu shots will be available.
Booster shots will be available for everyone over the age of 18 who were previously vaccinated with both shots and/or suffer from an immune deficiency. In addition, children under 11 will be able to receive their first vaccination shot.
CASC will be scheduling appointments. Individuals vaccinated in February thru July 2021 with both vaccines are eligible to receive a Booster vaccine. You will need to bring your vaccination card with you to your appointment. Staff will be checking for vaccination cards.
Here are things that you need to know prior to scheduling an appointment:
• Priority for Boosters are targeted to seniors and those with immune deficiencies.
• Seniors, born between 1915 – 1955, sixty-five (65) and/or older are eligible to receive a Booster Shot.

You must identify that they are under eleven when you call and provide their DOB (date of birth).
