Get Your COVID-19 Vaccine

ICHS is administering COVID-19 vaccines for individuals six months and older

We each have a responsibility to ensure that those around us are protected. We reduce COVID-19 transmission by being vaccinated and boosted, protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.

Dr. Lakshmi Deepa Yerram, ICHS chief medical officer, emphasizes the importance of vaccinating our youngest children against COVID-19. She also advocates that everyone six months and older should get the bivalent vaccine.

The available data continue to demonstrate that vaccines prevent the most serious outcomes of COVID-19, which are severe illness, hospitalization, and death.

What to expect

COVID-19 vaccines are free of charge, regardless of immigration or health insurance status.

Please bring your ID and insurance card if you have health insurance. Also bring your CDC vaccination record card if you are receiving your booster dose. You will be given vaccine safety information when you arrive. After you receive your vaccine, ICHS staff will observe you for 15 minutes. If you have a history of allergies or allergic reactions, we will observe you for 30 minutes.

ICHS offers the Pfizer COVID-19 bivalent vaccine for people six months and older. ICHS does NOT offer Moderna or Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

How to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at ICHS

ICHS patients and non-ICHS patients can walk in to clinic pharmacies at ICHS' International District, Holly Park and Shoreline clinics Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (availability based on limited supply). Walk in vaccinations are not available at our Bellevue clinic at this time.

Bivalent doses

The number of bivalent doses varies by age, vaccine, previous COVID-19 vaccines received and presence of moderate or severe immune systems.

Pfizer vaccination schedule

Age	# of bivalent doses
6 months-4 years	3
5+ years	1

Additional doses for seniors 65+ and immunocompromised

Some people may get additional COVID-19 boosters:

People aged 65 years and older may get 1 additional bivalent COVID-19 booster dose 4 or more months after the 1st bivalent COVID-19 vaccine.
People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get 1 additional bivalent COVID-19 booster dose 2 or more months after the 1st bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your healthcare provider about additional bivalent booster doses.

As with vaccines for other diseases, you are protected best when you stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool to learn if and when you can get boosters.

Have you or your child had COVID-19?

The CDC says that you may consider delaying the next COVID-19 vaccine dose by 3 months after symptoms started or, if they had no symptoms, when they first received a positive test.

'Mixing and matching'

After reviewing vaccine safety and effectiveness data, the CDC has found that “mixing and matching” a different booster shot from your original vaccination is safe and effective. For example, someone who was vaccinated with Moderna may safely choose to get a Pfizer booster.
