Seattle Veterinary Outreach is proud to announce that Free COVID Vaccines for all individuals over 5 years of age will be available at partner locations around Seattle starting this coming week. Vaccines are being administered by King County Public Health, are available to all seeking vaccination, either the initial series or a booster. Vaccines are free of charge, and no appointment is required.

 

In addition to COVID vaccination, subsidized veterinary care is available for all individuals living homeless or low income. See www.seattlevet.org for more information on eligibility and calendar.

The following locations and dates are available. Vaccinations are administered from 11 am to 2 pm each day of service:

  • January 12th, Ballard Food Bank. 1400 NW Leary Way, Seattle, WA
  • January 14th, ETS-SODO, 1700 Airport Way S, Seattle, WA
  • January 19th, Compass Health Resource Fair, 77 South Washington Street, Seattle, WA
  • January 21st, Recovery Café, 4202 6th Ave South, Seattle, WA

 

Additional dates are planned for February and will be released closer to that time.

 

What is the link between pet health and human health? Luckily, pets do not appear to be very susceptible to getting COVID, but transmissible diseases do exist. Seattle Veterinary Outreach is a local non-profit whose mission is to provide subsidized veterinary care to pets of underserved populations and connect their owners to vital health, housing, and social service resources. By doing so, SVO hopes to promote a world where underserved people and their pets enjoy equal access to health and housing. This outreach is funded by a grant through King County Public Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

 

All clinics are held at partner sites already doing valuable community service by filling basic needs such as nutrition, social services, and housing. Current locations include Ballard Food Bank, NW Harvest, North Helpline/Bitterlake, Transform Burien, Evergreen Treatment Services, and the Recovery Café.

 

In addition, this month, SVO is participating in a Health Resource Fair at Compass Housing, where access to many additional services will be available through providers such as NeighborCare Health at Pike Market, Molina Medicaid Enrollment, Uplift NW, Access Wireless (free Obamaphones), and more. ###
