SPOKANE, Wash. — Appointments for all of Providence Medical Group's COVID-19 vaccine clinics have been filled.
Providence announced on Wednesday that it would hold another vaccine clinic on Wednesday, March 17 at the Spokane Teaching Health Clinic. The 200 appointments available were filled by Thursday morning.
Approximately 1,000 appointments were available at Providence's Spokane Teaching Health Clinic for Wednesday, March 10 and Friday, March 12, a spokesperson wrote in an email on Tuesday night. All of the appointment slots were booked by 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
The Pfizer vaccine is available at the clinics for those who are eligible in Phase 1A and Phase 1B Tier 1 of Washington state's vaccine distribution plan, including people ages 65 and older, those age 50 and older who live in a multi-generational household, teachers and child care providers.
Anyone looking to schedule an appointment should first use Washington's Phase Finder tool to confirm their eligibility. They should then print their eligibility confirmation and bring it with them to their appointment. Appointments are scheduled on the Providence website.
The announcement about appointments available in Spokane comes as some providers in North Idaho are expanding eligibility to more groups. Kootenai Health in Coeur d'Alene announced on Monday that anyone ages 18 to 64 who lives and works in Idaho, and has at least one "increased risk medical condition," can get the vaccine due to "large quantities of vaccines available."
