COVID-19 Information

Take These Steps to Help Manage the Spread of Coronavirus

All people 6 months of age and older are eligible to get vaccinations and boosters shots. The best protection is to get vaccinated and help reduce the spread in your community. To find a vaccination site, visit the Washington Vaccine Locator Tool.

Wear a mask in high-risk settings (such as crowded places) to help to protect everyone. Those who can’t get the full protection from the vaccine, such as children and those with medical conditions, are especially important to protect.

It is recommended to get tested if you experience symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close proximity to an individual who has tested positive.

For information on the vaccination, visit the Spokane Regional Health District’s educational webpage. For questions and help scheduling appointments, call the state hotline at 1-800-525-0127 and press #, or text “Coronavirus” to 211-211. Want to know what’s in the vaccine? Take a look at the CDC’s informational webpage.
