Auburn Vaccine Appointments Moved To Kent, Due To Winter Weather
The county has transferred all Auburn appointments to Kent through Saturday in anticipation of severe winter weather.
KING COUNTY, WA — Frigid temperatures and potentially significant snowfall prompted public health officials to relocate all appointments at the Auburn mass vaccination to the ShoWare Center in Kent through at least Saturday.
In anticipation of severe winter weather, the Auburn drive-thru site will be closed Thursday, Friday and Saturday to protect staff who would typically work outdoors and prevent visitors from waiting in cars during sub-freezing temperatures. Appointments made at the Auburn site will be honored at the ShoWare Center, which is located indoors.
The Kent Vaccination Site is located at: ShoWare Center, 625 W James St, Kent, WA 98032. Appointments are required. For more information on qualifying criteria and how to register at the Kent and Auburn vaccination sites, visit https://t.co/5l97kkZ2vf.
