Do you want to volunteer your time to advance COVID-19 vaccine equity in our community?

As an organization founded to assure access to quality health care for those who need it, International Community Health Services (ICHS) has focused on delivering COVID-19 vaccines to underserved communities in King County, in particular to immigrants and refugees.

Since February 2021, ICHS has co-coordinated over one hundred pop-up clinics with community partners and administered over 5,000 vaccines.

Teams of ICHS staff and volunteers have hosted daytime pop-up vaccine clinics at schools, places of worship, senior apartments, businesses, non-profit agencies, and many other locations.
