Vaccine Access for All - services through the Washington Department of Health (DOH)

Shoreline, WALocal News

Washington offers vital vaccination access for uninsured residents through two key programs. The Adult Vaccine Program provides vaccines to adults aged 19 and older at participating provider locations, ensuring they receive necessary immunizations. The Childhood Vaccine Program supplies all recommended vaccines to children younger than 19, effectively removing or reducing cost barriers. Parents can find a complete list of required immunizations for the 2025-26 school year on the DOH website, underscoring the state's commitment to public health. This initiative reflects a broader effort to improve community health outcomes by making vaccines accessible to all.

The DOH encourages residents to stay informed by following their updates on social media. Vaccinations are crucial in preventing outbreaks and maintaining public health, especially in vulnerable populations. These programs demonstrate Washington's proactive approach to healthcare access.
