COVID-19 Vaccinations
Vaccination is an important step on the path out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Island County Public Health (ICPH), in coordination with the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and other partners, continue to plan for Island County vaccine distribution.
DOH and ICPH are using a phased approach to administering the vaccine as developed by the DOH allocation guidance. The DOH update on vaccination allocation is available online with the COVID-19 Vaccination Progress Dashboard and Data.
This page will be updated as new information becomes available.
